Abstract
This study concerned the effects of treatment and sex of subject on the qualitative analysis of skill of undergraduate physical education majors. 29 majors in undergraduate physical education were randomly assigned to two groups, who viewed a pretest tape and a posttest tape together but were separated for instructional treatment. The instructional tapes covered throwing, catching, and striking skills and differed only in the information presented. One instructional tape showed examples of good and bad skill while the other showed only examples of good skill. Using the Group Embedded Figures Test as a covariate, a three-way (sex by treatment by tests) analysis of variance yielded a significant main effect for tests and an interaction of tests by treatment. Posttest means for both groups were superior to pretest means, and good examples gave higher means than good and bad examples. No effect was found for sex of subjects or the other interactions.
