The effect of a physical and sports education program prepared according to pragmatic theory on the development of fundamental Volleyball Motor Skills among high school students.
Abstract
This paper aims to try to find out the impact of an educational program built according to the principles of pragmatic theory in the curriculum in terms of construction and application, in achieving the students’ fundamental Volleyball Motor Skills, we assumed that the educational program has a positive effect in acquiring the target competencies, represented by (Serve-receive, Passing, Setting, Spiking). In our study, we relied on a sample of 30 students of the third year of high school, who were chosen randomly and divided randomly into two groups, one experimental and the other control, after doing the pretests represented in the skill performance tests for the previously identified Motor Skills, and doing the educational program for a period of 10 weeks , and after doing the post-tests, it was concluded that (a) the traditional program has an effect on achieving the targeted competencies through the presence of statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test in favor of the post-test for the control groupe. (b) the educational program has an effect on achieving the targeted competencies through the presence of statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test in favor of the post-test for the experimental group. (c) the educational program has a greater effect in terms of the level of fundamental Motor Skills of the students, after there were statistically significant differences between the two post-tests of the experimental and control groups, in favor of the experimental group. This is after statistical analysis of the data according to parametric and non-parametric tests
