Johnsoni, Mary E. Rudisill, Julia Sassi, Danielle Wadsworth, Peter Hastie School of Kinesiology, Auburn University, 301 Wire Road, Auburn, AL, 36849, USA Abstract: Research suggests that both practice and reinforcement are necessary for skill learning. In school settings however, there is typically only one teacher per class, and by consequence, providing individual feedback and reinforcement to all students is more challenging. Thus, the design of the task in schools/classes is extremely critical to maximize opportunities for practice and feedback. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different teacher behaviors (i.e., explicit instruction and f Less
