The effect of group competitive learning strategy to development motor response speed and blocking skill of volleyball for students

Abstract

Given that this age group is the foundation and the basis for selecting good players in the future, the research's significance lies in the employment of the group competitive learning approach to increase the speed of motor reaction and the skill of blocking volleyball skill for the third intermediate students.As for the problem of the research, from the experience of the researcher in the field and his continuous follow-up as a player, as well as being a teacher in the General Directorate of Education of Najaf, he found that there is difficulty in learning the skill of blocking volleyball for students, as well as slowness in the motor response when performing that skill, and the research believes that the reason for that is The lesson lacks modern teaching methods and strategies, which leads to a slow process of learning motor skills, which prompted the researcher to delve into this problem as a new scientific attempt to develop the speed of motor response as well as the skill of blocking volleyball.The research's objectives were to establish a group competitive learning approach for volleyball and to determine how it affected the third-year intermediate students' ability to blocking skill of volleyball and to respond motorically.The researcher used the experimental approach with two experimental groups due to its suitability to the research problem. The researcher chose the research sample as it was by the intentional method and they are the students of the third intermediate grade, as the sample size reached (40) students and they were divided into two experimental and control groups, i. Group competitive learning has an impact on the development of students' motor response speed, and the researcher reached the most important conclusions, including. The group competitive learning strategy helped in learning the volleyball skill students, the experimental group members achieved preference over the control group members in the post-tests, and the researcher reached recommendations, including, for the benefit of students and society, conducting similar studies on other activities and different age groups.
