Abstract
This study compared and examined the effects of Singer's (1988) Five Step Model of Self-Regulated Learning and Zimmerman's (1995) Dynamic Feedback Model of Self-Regulated Learning on motor skill acquisition using ninety high school females. Three components of these two models were studied: strategy (imaginal versus analytic), goal setting (fixed versus dynamic) and self-evaluation (absent or present). It was hypothesized that girls who adopted components of Zimmerman's model would exceed those girls who adopted components of Singer's model in dart-skill, self-efficacy beliefs, self-reactions and intrinsic interest. Support for all hypotheses were found. Results provided strong evidence that Zimmerman's model is more effective than Singer's model in enhancing not only the girls' dart-skill but their self-efficacy perceptions, self-reactions and intrinsic interest. Correlations showed that self-efficacy beliefs were highly correlated with dart throwing skill, self-reactions and intrinsic interest. Girls who self-evaluated reported significantly more strategy attributions than did those who did not self-evaluate. These strategy attributions were highly correlated with dart-skill, self-efficacy, positive self-reactions and intrinsic interest in dart throwing. Findings are discussed in terms of a social cognitive view of self-regulated learning of complex motor skills. Instructional applications of the findings for educators and coaches were also considered.
