Summary/Abstract: D. P. Hallahan and J. M. Kauffman (2003) define self-control as an ability of an individual to regulate own behaviour (application of strategies solving problems) and this is linked with metacognition. Skills of meta-cognition are abilities of self-control, which are mastered while learning; this embraces thoughts about what we know and how we regulate learning. There exists a mutuallink between development of self-control and physical abilities: while developing self-control abilities, it is possible to better cultivateschool students’ physical abilities, to teach them movements because selfcontrol enables them to better penetrate in general cognitive strategies. On the other hand, developing children’s physical abilities, favourable conditions for improvement of school students’ self-control abilities are established. However, the influence of selfcontrol development at primary school age has not been widely researched and few works on researches in primary learners in the context of their physical education have been published.
