Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the effect of the effectiveness of the cognitive representation strategy in developing psychological resilience and learning the skills of handling and handling for first-stage students, University College of Knowledge / Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. As for the research hypotheses, there are statistically significant differences between the results of the pre- and post-tests of the two research groups in developing psychological resilience and learning the skills of handling. And playing basketball. There are statistically significant differences between the two research groups in the results of the post-tests in developing psychological resilience and learning the skills of handling and hitting basketball. In this research, an experimental approach was applied to suit the nature of the problem. Its sample included first-year students from the University College of Knowledge/Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. For the academic year (2023 - 2024), their number reached (70) students, and the research sample included two sections (A and B). The researchers conducted a lottery between them and resulted in section (A) the experimental group and section (B) the control group. (10) students were excluded for the exploratory experiment. The researchers excluded the students. The total sample became (50) students in the final form, and each group had (25) students, representing (71.42%) of the total population. An educational curriculum was applied that lasted for eight weeks, with one educational unit per week, and the duration of the unit was 90 minutes. The researchers took into consideration His exercises during his educational units ranged from ease to difficulty, and the researchers processed the results of his study through (SPSS), which is a special program for analyzing statistical data. It was concluded that using the cognitive representation strategy led to attracting the students’ attention and increased their motivation and eagerness to learn skills. Among the researcher’s recommendations are Emphasizing interest in students’ participation in the learning process and giving them freedom to express their opinions without restrictions that hinder their learning.
