Development of a Badminton Teaching Program Based on Visual Searching Feedback
Abstract
Background and Aims: Creating a teaching program for badminton is essential to improving players' abilities and guaranteeing a strong base in fitness, technique, and strategy. Additionally, it encourages interest and participation in the sport at all skill levels, from novices to experts, which furthers its growth.
Thus, this research investigates the impact of visual search feedback on the performance of a badminton clear stroke teaching program.
Methodology: The study involves 30 university students enrolled in a specialized badminton program, divided into an experimental group. By analyzing eye-tracking data, the training aims to enhance students' visual search capabilities and integrates these into the teaching program for badminton clear stroke technique. The specific steps are as follows: 1) Study relevant knowledge on visual search capabilities and badminton clear stroke technique. 2) Collect data on visual search capabilities and badminton clear stroke technique from high-level athletes. 3) Consult experts and gather opinions on eye-tracking data to develop a training program integrating visual search capabilities into the badminton clear stroke technique teaching curriculum. 4) Validate and experiment with the teaching program with 42 students. 5) Implement an 8-week experiment with 30 students, comprising 4 sessions with testing every two weeks, to assess the feasibility of the teaching program. The evaluation criterion is set at E1/E2 = 80/80. Data analysis involves descriptive statistical methods including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.
Results: The major findings show that: 1) The efficiency of adding visual search ability exercises to the badminton clear strokes teaching program was 85.17/88.05, meeting the criteria of E1/E2 = 70/70. 2) The post-test scores in badminton clear stroke technique were significantly higher than the pre-test scores at the 0.05 significance level.
Conclusion: The results show that players' technique is significantly improved when visual search ability exercises are added to badminton clear stroke training. The program's effectiveness exceeded expectations, as evidenced by the post-test scores which demonstrated a significant increase over the pre-test findings.
