Knowledge of results is feedback that tells you what you achieved by an action, process or performance. It is considered an important element of motivation, learning and performance improvement. The following are illustrative examples.
TimeAn athlete training for the 100-metre dash has access to precise timings of their training performance. This allows them to finely tune elements of their run to see if it produces results.ScoresAn athlete reevaluates their performance after a basketball game in which their team loses and they personally score only 2 baskets.CorrectnessA math student thinks they understand a topic from listening in class. They realize there is a gap in their understanding when they can't get the correct answers in practice exercises.
A graphic designer stops using black and white photos after an advertisement they thought was compelling failed to achieve a reasonable click through rate.TestingA chef feels that a new dish will be a top seller. However, she decides to test it first with a series of taste tests. The dish doesn't do well and she decides to make changes.WinsThe feedback you get from achieving a goal. For example, a snowboarder that learns how to get more air off their toes after he lands a successful backside 540.
OpinionsA figure skater feels that their transitions are always smooth, stylish and graceful. However, they often scores low on transitions and linking footwork based on the opinions of judging panels. This leads them to a careful analysis of video to build upon their knowledge of performance. |
