Inter-observer evaluation of practical lesson delivery in physical education setting: Nature and demonstration of teachers’ instructional cues

Often, teachers plan for instructional activities, yet fail to cues they would use facilitate skill acquisition among students. During practical lesson delivery, it is ideal cue (IC) of the teacher be short, descriptive and integrated in a manner that promotes students’ retention information necessary learners execute correctly. Teachers should avoid lengthy unnecessary ICs teaching learning environment. In this pedagogical study, we used processes investigate nature demonstration teachers’ ICs, proportion rate per minute physical education (PE) setting involving pre-service (n=77) professional PE (n=4). Self-developed event recording instrument was found valid using expert consultation procedure. each recorded event, inter-observer agreement above 80% which indicated good reliability data making research decisions. Evaluation video-recorded suggested were able utilise variety (i.e., integrated) setting. Findings largely simulate skills techniques during delivery. Again, verbal demonstrated with equipment occupied largest events, while without placed second. Non-verbal least events entire observation. Generally, study revealed normal phenomenon where occurred more frequently than non-verbal cues. The class usually composed high low prior learners.
