Types of feedback
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can identify and use different types of feedback to improve performance.
Key learning points
- Intrinsic feedback comes from the performer's own senses and feelings.
- Extrinsic feedback comes from external sources such as coaches, peers or parents.
- Feedback can be either positive or negative depending on whether it focuses on correct or incorrect actions.
- Knowledge of results is feedback concerned with the outcome of movement.
- Knowledge of performance is feedback concerned with how well movements are performed.
Keywords
Intrinsic feedback - feedback received via receptors in the muscles or sensations that are felt by the performer, providing information from movement
Extrinsic feedback - feedback received from outside of the performer, e.g. from a coach
Knowledge of results - feedback related to the outcome of a performance such as the result or final position
Knowledge of performance - feedback related to how well movements were performed
Common misconception
Types of feedback are often confused with types of guidance.
Ensure students are able to differentiate between guidance, which is information needed to understand how to perform a skill, and feedback which is information about how well it is being performed.
Teacher tip
A simple target game with students aiming for a target they cannot see, and someone else feeding back to them how successful they are, can be a good starter task to connect to this lesson.

The starter quiz will activate and check your pupils' prior knowledge, with versions available both with and without answers in PDF format.
We use learning cycles to break down learning into key concepts or ideas linked to the learning outcome. Each learning cycle features explanations with checks for understanding and practice tasks with feedback. All of this is found in our slide decks, ready for you to download and edit. The practice tasks are also available as printable worksheets and some lessons have additional materials with extra material you might need for teaching the lesson.
The assessment exit quiz will test your pupils' understanding of the key learning points.
Our video is a tool for planning, showing how other teachers might teach the lesson, offering helpful tips, modelled explanations and inspiration for your own delivery in the classroom. Plus, you can set it as homework or revision for pupils and keep their learning on track by sharing an online pupil version of this lesson.
