Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of observational learning on Students’ promoting metacognitive behavior in soccer chip task. Forty two students, aged 11-13 years old, in region 2th of Tehran, participated in this study. They were divided in 3 groups (control group, observation of skilled model group, and observation of skilled model with metacognitive activities group). An experimental intervention study in soccer chip task was conducted with pre- and post-tests. Metacognition was assessed pre and post-intervention using metacognitive process in physical education questionnaire. Paired sample t-test analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between pre- test and post-test in groups. The results of ANOVA & Bonferroni test showed that in addition to being metacognitive strategies are an effective way to improve metacognitive behavior, observational learning also is an effective way to improve it, in physical education classes.
