Self-regulated learning, training satisfaction and perceived competence of young athletes during Covid-19 pandemic period

ENThe aim of this study was to evaluate the perceived competence and satisfaction of Young Athletes at their training and determine the peculiarities of Self-regulated learning during Covid-19 conditions. In this research, we adopted three scales: Self-Regulated Learning Scale (SRLSRS) (8 subscales with 53 items), Perceived Competence for Learning Scale (PCLS), and Sport Satisfaction Instrument (SSI). In this study, 452 respondents (male – 278, 61.5%; female – 174, 38.5%) (Team sports – 226; individual sports – 226) were analyzed. Age varied from 13 to 19 years old (average 15.85±1.45). Conclusions. The instrument is multidimensional, because of its complexity and it needs further investigation when trying to adapt to a Lithuanian population. The Adopted Self-regulated learning Scale was characterized by good internal compatibility and is suitable for data analysis, but the next step is to prepare a shorter version of SRL. It is important to adopt a shorter version for Coaches and Athletes to make it more easier to implement it into the coaching practice. Such results were obtained, because of the Covid-19 pandemic peculiarities. For further investigation we need to receive more data from usual trainings, not including distance/remote learning and distance/remote coaching.
