Abstract

The expansion of teaching styles in schools has led researchers to consider selecting the most appropriate method based on students' age, available equipment, gender, scientific and cultural background, educational level, and skill set. This research highlights the effectiveness of using the styles of reciprocal learning and competitive comparison in teaching some basic volleyball skills. These two methods were chosen because they both involve student interaction, but in different forms: the competitive comparison style relies on rivalry between pairs, promoting a sense of challenge, while the reciprocal style is based on cooperation between pairs, fostering harmony through role exchange. The researcher also referred to the traditional teaching method (command style), commonly used in schools, as a baseline for comparison. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of each style in teaching the volleyball skills of serving and receiving. The research hypotheses proposed that there would be statistically significant differences among the three groups in both pre- and post-tests, with the post-test results favoring the group using the competitive comparison style. The experimental method was applied using equal groups, with a sample size of 45 students divided into three groups of 15. One group followed the traditional (command) style, the second used the comparative competition style, and the third applied the reciprocal style. The results revealed that the comparative competition group showed the greatest improvement in learning the serve and receive skills, followed by the reciprocal style group, with the traditional style group showing the least progress.
