The effect of the Constructivist Learning Strategy on Learning the skill of Peaceful Shooting of Basketball and Retaining it for

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the effect of the constructivist learning strategy in learning and retaining the skill of shooting basketball peacefully for female students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research, as the number of individuals in the research sample reached (44). A female student after excluding several female students because of non-compliance with the paragraphs of implementing the educational program. Parity was achieved between the two experimental groups in the variables (age, mass, and height), in addition to achieving parity between them in influential physical tests (explosive strength of the legs, explosive strength of the arms, Strength distinguished by speed for the legs, strength distinguished by speed for the torso, transitional speed, flexibility) and the skill of shooting basketball peacefully. After that, the educational curriculum began to be implemented on the experimental group on Tuesday, 10/1/2024, with two educational units per week, for the first academic year in college. Education for Girls / Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, and the implementation of the educational curriculum for the two research groups was completed on Tuesday, 12/17/2024. The researcher used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, percentage, and T-Test as statistical means to reach the results. The researcher reached the conclusion that the effectiveness of the educational program in learning the skill of peaceful shooting for the experimental group that used the constructivist learning strategy.

The researcher recommends the necessity of using the constructivist learning strategy with modern teaching models to contribute to developing the level of female students in the physical education lesson.
