Which KP is recommended for students who are not sure of how to use the information to improve their golf skill learning?

• A. Prescriptive KP
• B. Descriptive KP
• C. Video feedback
• D. Kinematic feedback

Answer: (A)

Knowledge of performance can be either descriptive or prescriptive. For students who aren’t sure how to use the information to improve, prescriptive KP is best because it provides specific guidance on what to adjust and how to implement it in practice, turning observation into actionable steps. It gives a clear cue or instruction that the learner can rehearse, reducing ambiguity. Descriptive KP explains what happened but doesn't tell the learner how to change it. Video feedback is a way to deliver KP content, but it isn’t itself a type of KP; the value lies in whether the feedback is framed prescriptively to guide action. While kinematic feedback describes movement variables, it can be either descriptive or prescriptive, but the most directly helpful option for someone uncertain about applying information is prescriptive KP.
