Luqman S. K. The effect of using educational situations according to the two dimensions (sequential-total) in learning the skill of the front hands jump on the jumping platform device for students

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the preferred learning style according to the (sequential and holistic) dimension for the research sample, represented by third-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Kirkuk. It is also to identify the differences between the pre- and post-tests of the two experimental research groups in learning the Forward Hands-Up Skill on the Springboard Device, and to identify the differences between the post-tests of the two experimental research groups in learning the Forward Hands-Up Skill on the Springboard Device. The researchers used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research. The research community was selected from third-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Kirkuk for the academic year (2023-2024), amounting to (79) students, distributed among two study groups, namely (A) with (36) students, and (B) with (43) students. The research sample was randomly identified and selected. The first group was represented by Section (A), which relied on the (sequential) dimension, and its number was (15) students who tended towards the sequential style according to the Felder and Silverman scale. The second experimental group was formed by Section (B), and its number was (15) students, which relied on the (total) dimension, and those who tended towards the total style according to the Felder and Silverman scale. The main research experiment took (4) weeks, with two educational units per week for each group. The statistical methods were represented by (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, percentage, mode, skewness coefficient, simple correlation coefficient, T-test for linked samples - T-test for independent samples). The researchers concluded that the educational situations prepared according to the two dimensions (sequential - total) have a positive impact on learning the skill on the jumping platform device for students of the two experimental research groups under study. The first experimental research group used the sequential dimension outperformed the second experimental group used the total dimension in the skill of the front hands jump on the platform device. Jumping for students. Researchers recommended using educational situations that take into account the different learning styles of learners, as this has a positive impact on learning outcomes.
