Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-efficacy in learning advantages related to dyad training method. Twenty-five undergraduate students were divided into dyad and individual training group and were taught in taekwondo form 1 in four 30-minute sessions. The participants practiced the task in a dyadic manner in dyad training group while those selected for individual training group practiced individually. Then, they were asked to answer self-efficacy questionnaire before the first practice trial and before retention test. The results indicated that dyad training group was better in both learning and self-efficacy. Based on the results, both observing learning model and raising self-efficacy as a psychological factor can be regarded as the main reason of learning advantages among those learners taught based on dyad training.
