What is knowledge of performance?

• A. The outcome of the movement
• B. The duration of the movement
• C. The quality of performance felt by the learner during movement or observed while watching movement
• D. The accuracy of timing

Answer: (C)

Knowledge of performance focuses on how the movement is executed—the technique, form, and quality you sense or see during the action. It provides information about the movement pattern itself, not just what happened as a result. That’s why it’s described as the quality of performance felt by the learner during movement or observed while watching movement. For example, in a basketball layup, kp would involve cues about footwork, the arc of the shot, and release, while knowledge of results would be whether the ball went in. The other options describe the outcome or timing rather than how the movement was performed.
