Cláudio Manoel Ferreira Leite; Herbert Ugrinowitsch; Crislaine Rangel Couto – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Knowledge of results (KR), particularly its informational role, has often been regarded as redundant for learning interception-like tasks, such as coincidence-anticipation timing tasks.

Meier, Heidi; Lepp, Marina – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Especially in large courses, feedback is often given only on the final results; less attention is paid to the programming process. Today, however, some programming environments, e.g., Thonny, log activities during programming and have the functionality of replaying the programming process. This information can be used to provide feedback, and this…
