Abstract

In Self-controlled practice, feedback is provided by the learner himself. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-controlled practice of basketball shots performance on self-efficacy of female students. The statistical sample of this study included 20 female students who were randomly selected and divided into two self-controlled and yoked groups. The research was conducted in five sessions including a pre-test session, three sessions of practice, and a post-test session. Free Throw in basketball was chosen as the criterion task. The Sherer's self-efficacy questionnaire was completed and collected at the same time with pre-test and post-test. The results showed that self-controlled practice significantly contributed to the student's self-efficacy. As a result, due to the further improvement in the self-controlled group's retention and also the better self-efficacy, self-controlled practice has a positive effect on retention and self-efficacy of the individual.
