The present study examined the effects of instructional and motivational self-talk on handball performance using a novel task (nondominant arm) and a learned task (dominant arm) in primary school students. Participants were randomly assigned into two experimental groups (instructional and motivational) and one control group. The results revealed that for both tasks instructional and motivational self-talk groups improved their performance significantly in comparison with the control group and that for the nondominant arm instructional self-talk had a larger effect compared with motivational self-talk. The results suggest that instructional self-talk in the form of external focused cues may be more beneficial in the early stages of learning.

La presente investigación pretendió analizar los efectos del uso del blog educativo (i.e. Edublog) sobre la coeducación, compromiso con esta herramienta digital, calificación e intención de ser físicamente activo en clase de educación física en educación primaria. El estudio corresponde con un diseño cuasi-experimental, usando un grupo control, a priori, no equivalente y, un grupo experimental para una muestra total de 40 estudiantes de educación primaria (50.50% chicas; Medad = 10.55, DTedad = .51). Se tomaron medidas acerca del conocimiento de equidad y calificación al final del programa de intervención, medidas sobre la implicación con el Edublog durante todo el programa, mientras que la intención de ser físicamente activo se evaluó al inicio y al final del programa. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de conocimiento de equidad, implicación con el Edublog y calificación a favor del grupo experimental. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el nivel de intención de ser físicamente activo entre ambos grupos. A modo de conclusión, el Edublog puede ser un recurso didáctico tenido en cuenta por el profesorado a la hora de mejorar las experiencias educativas del alumnado de educación primaria cuando participa en educación física.AbstractThis research aimed at examining the effects of the usage of the educational blog (or Edublog) on coeducation, commitment to this digital tool, grades and intention to be physically active in Physical Education lessons in Primary school. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with, a priori, a non-equivalent control group and an experimental group for a total of 40 primary school students (50.50% girls; Mage = 10.55, SDage = .51). Measures on knowledge of equity and grades were taken at the end of the intervention programme, measures on a commitment to Edublog were collected throughout the programme, while the intention to be physically active were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results revealed statistically significant differences in the level of knowledge of equity, the commitment of Edublog and grades a favour of the experimental group. There was a nonsignificant difference in the level of intention to be physically active among both groups. In conclusion, Edublog can be a learning recourse to be considered by teachers in improving primary school students’ educational experiences when they participate in Physical Education.

During the study, the experimental groups and control group of primary school students were included and the results of experiment and qualitative data were analysed. In addition, the study revealed comparative data with analysis, synthesis, questionnaires, diagnostics and other practical methods. As a result of the experimental work, a system of specific general developmental exercises (GDE) aimed at developing the skills of independent performance by primary school students through GDE was developed. Elements of life movements taken from various roots of Kazakh national culture were introduced into the system of GDE within the framework of cooperation with class teachers, a series of thematic methodological seminars were held for physical education teachers and a methodological guide was developed.
