The effect of digital video feedback on roundoff learning outcomes in gymnastics learning

The technological breakthroughs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have underscored the necessity of incorporating technology into education, encompassing physical education. Nonetheless, its utilisation in gymnastics education is still restricted. This study sought to investigate the impact of digital video feedback on students' learning results in round-off gymnastics. This study utilised a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest methodology. A total of 36 students were randomly chosen from a sample of 141 individuals. A gymnastics skill observation checklist was employed to evaluate round-off performance. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and effect size (r) were employed for data analysis. The findings indicated a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores ( p < 0.05). The average score rose from 1.74 to 3.67, with an impact size of r = 0.86, signifying a substantial benefit. The data indicate that digital video feedback markedly enhances students' round-off performance. Overall digital video feedback serves as an efficacious instructional instrument in gymnastics education, augmenting students' comprehension, performance, and engagement. The incorporation of technology in physical education can enhance motor skill development, especially in intricate movements like the round-off.
