Abstract

The importance of the research lies in the introduction of a new method in the process of learning the skills of blocking and defending the volleyball court for students, which is the inverted learning method using an educational platform called (Edmodo). The research problem focused: Through the researcher’s follow-up to the practical lessons of volleyball in the faculties and departments of physical education and sports sciences, he noticed that there is a weakness in learning the skills of the wall and defending the field in volleyball and the lack of them being able to perform them as required, and the reason for this is the difficulty of skills and lack of time Assigned to each student to perform those skills to increase the number of students in the educational unit, the researcher decided to find appropriate solutions by introducing the inverted learning method in preparing the educational unit in conjunction with modern electronic technologies, including the educational platform (Edmodo), so that students can identify the exact details of the required skill Some of them learned it through a computer or smart devices, and participated in asking questions about the skill and participating with colleagues by discussing the details of the skill and its detailed minutes. The objectives of the research were determined to identify the effect of inverted learning on the Edmodo platform in learning the skills of the wall and defending the volleyball court for students. The researcher followed the experimental approach by designing two equal groups with pre and post tests, and on the main research sample of (28) students from the third stage of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / University of Babylon. The experimental group followed the inverted learning method on the Edmodo platform, while the control group followed the educational method followed by the subject teacher, and after completing the implementation of the vocabulary of this learning, the results were extracted and processed by appropriate statistical means, the researcher reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which is for the inverted learning method Edmodo has played a major role in learning the skills of the wall and defending the field in volleyball. In light of these conclusions, the researcher recommended several recommendations, the most important of which are (the necessity of adopting the inverted learning method on the Edmodo platform in learning some volleyball skills, and also emphasizing the introduction of the inverted learning method on the Edmodo platform during the educational units in learning skills in games and other activities.
