Students’ Performance Calibration in a Basketball Dibbling Task in Elementary Physical Education

The aim of this study was to examine students’ performance calibration in physical education. Onehundred fifth and sixth grade students provided estimations regarding their performance in adribbling test after practicing dribbling for 16 minutes under different self-regulatory conditions (i.e.,receiving feedback, setting goals, self-recording). Two calibration indices, calibration bias andcalibration accuracy, were calculated. The results showed that students who practiced dribbling underdifferent self-regulatory conditions (i.e., receiving feedback, setting goals) did not differ in calibrationbias and accuracy. Regardless of the group, students were overconfident. Moreover, sixth gradestudents were more accurate compared to fifth grade students. These results were discussed withreference to the development of performance calibration and self-regulated learning in physicaleducation.
