The effect of the (P.A.K.S.A) strategy on learning the skills of serve and setting in volleyball for female students

Abstract

The problem of the research lies in the researchers’ observation of the female students’ performance in the practical field that there is a weakness in learning some basic skills in volleyball, especially the skills of serve and set. Therefore, the researchers decided to prepare educational units using the (P.A.K.S.A) strategy in learning the two skills under study in volleyball for the female students. The research aims to Preparing educational units using the strategy (P.A.K.S.A) in learning the skills of serve and set in volleyball for female students and identifying the effect of the strategy (P.A.K.S.A) in learning the two skills under study and thus knowing the preference of the two groups (experimental and control) in learning the two skills. The research assumed the presence of statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests. The control and experimental groups in learning the skills of serve and set in volleyball, as well as the presence of statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the post-tests in learning the two skills under study. The two researchers used the experimental method in the manner of two equal groups with a pre- and post-test with random selection to suit the nature of the research. The research population was determined from the female students of the second intermediate grade in Al-Fadhael Secondary School for outstanding students for the academic year (2022-2023). The sample number reached (24) female students and was divided into two experimental and control groups. (12 female students) for each group, and the educational units were applied using the (P.A.K.S.A) strategy to learn the two skills under study for a period of eight weeks, with two educational units per week, and the time of each unit was (45) minutes. The researchers used the statistical package (SPSS) to process the data and a number of conclusions were reached, the most important of which was that the (P.A.K.S.A) strategy had a positive impact on learning the skills of Serve and Set in volleyball for female students, and the experimental group outperformed the control group in learning the two skills under study. Accordingly, the researchers recommend a number of The most important recommendations were to benefit from the results of the current study when learning the two skills under study, as well as circulating the results of the study to the Ministry of Education due to the necessity of applying the strategy in learning some volleyball skills, especially the skills of serve and set. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
