Asian Journal of Education and Training - Vol. 4 - No. 1 - Effect of Verbal Feedback in Twelve Weeks Handball Training on Self-Efficacy and Life Satisfaction

Q: What was the primary purpose of the study?

To examine the effect of verbal feedback given during twelve weeks of handball training on self-efficacy and life satisfaction.

Q: How were participants divided and how many took part?

Thirty students participated and were assigned to an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15), with similar characteristics.

Q: What statistical approach was used to evaluate outcomes?

Normality was checked using the Shapiro-Wilk test; because data were not normal, Wilcoxon Marked Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U test were used, along with Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis for the scales.

The study investigated how verbal feedback delivered during a twelve-week handball training period affects athletes’ self-efficacy and life satisfaction. Thirty students participated, split into experimental (n=15, mean age 20.13±1.79) and control groups (n=15, mean age 20.57±1.62). Measures included self-efficacy (Riggs et al., 1994; adapted by Öcel, 2002) and life satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985; adapted by Yetim, 1991). Data normality was assessed with Shapiro-Wilk, followed by nonparametric tests.

A total of 30 students as experimental group (n=15, mean age= 20.13±1.79) and control group (n=15, mean age=20.57±1.62) with similar characteristics were included in the study. Self-efficacy scale that originally developed by Riggs et al. (1994) and adapted to Turkish population by Öcel (2002) and life satisfaction scale that originally developed by Diener et al.(1985) and adapted to Turkish population by Yetim (1991) were used. Shapiro-Wilk test was interpreted for normality in data analysis and it was observed that the distribution was not normal. And so Wilcoxon Marked Rank Test was used to determine the development and skills of the groups themselves. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the development of the experimental and control group in terms of pretest and posttest scores. Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis was also performed for the scales used in the research. According to research findings, there was a statistically significant difference between test and control groups posttest, selfefficacy values and life satisfaction values (p <0.05) . As a result, verbal feedback given to handball players over a twelve-week training period was found to have a positive effect on self-efficacy and life satisfaction.

Introduction The emphasis on the necessity of more objective investigations began to manifest itself in the early 1900s. It is based on learning that the active role of the past is to integrate with the situation in which day-to-day mankind is involved and to be able to adapt to the environment. The concept of learning leads people to behave in the future by reminding them of the past (Howe, 2001). Today, the need for learning of mankind is increasing (Ormrod, 2013; Sönmez, 2015) . Learning can take place in many places and in many ways. People want to realize learning for the satisfaction of his inner feelings at any moment of his life, like s
