Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of distribution practice and judgment of learning on the acquisition and retention of basketball pass skills.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 60 novice female students with a mean age of 14.48 ± 0.37 years old were objectively selected. They were then randomly and equally assigned to four groups: massed, distributed, massed - judgment of learning, and distributed - judgment of learning. In the pretest phase, participants performed 10 trials of the basketball chest pass. In the acquisition phase, the massed group and massed - judgment of learning group performed 240 basketball chest passes. The distributed group and distributed - judgment of learning group performed 60 trials during four consecutive sessions. In addition to performing the passes, the metacognition groups predicted their scores for the next block. In the post-test and retention tests performed after one day, seven days, and 28 days, participants performed 10 trials.
Results: The results indicated that the distribution practice groups with judgment of learning had better performance in the acquisition and retention phases compared to the other groups (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The results of this study emphasize the importance of metacognition in practice conditions.
