Abstract

Objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of debate lessons in the system of forming metacognitive abilities of chess players. Methods and structure of the study. The study involved 18 first-category chess players aged 12 to 14, undergoing training with the same coach. The athletes were divided into two equal groups. Over the course of a month, the chess players solved identical chess problems and analysed the same games. Sessions with the control group were conducted in the traditional form, and with the experimental group, in the form of debate lessons. Results and conclusions. The athletes of the control group, whose sessions were conducted in the traditional form, showed lower results in solving chess compositions. A higher level of development of metacognitive abilities was recorded in the chess players of the experimental group. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of debate lessons in the system of forming metacognitive abilities.
