The effect of the (4 mat) strategy on cognitive achievement and learning a number of offensive skills in basketball

Abstract

The researcher utilized an experimental methodology known as the equivalent group design, which involved the inclusion of both experimental and control groups. The research sample comprised 36 male fifth-grade students enrolled at Abu Hanifa Secondary School for Boys during the academic year 2022-2023. The participants were evenly allocated into two distinct groups: the experimental group (Group B) received instruction utilizing the 4mat technique, whilst the control group (Group A) adhered to the conventional curriculum delivered by the teacher. The evaluation focused on offensive basketball abilities such as chest passing, high dribbling, and shooting from a stable position. Additionally, a scale was employed to gauge cognitive achievement in basketball.Following a six-week period of experiment implementation, the sample underwent testing to assess the research variables. After doing statistical analysis, the researcher successfully obtained data. However, the particular outcomes of the study were not presented, leaving the reader without knowledge of the most relevant discoveries.1.The experimental group that implemented the prepared curriculum according to the (4mat) strategy outperformed the control group that followed the curriculum using the traditional method in the development of cognitive achievement for offensive basketball skills.2.The experimental group that implemented the prepared curriculum according to the (4mat) strategy outperformed the control group that followed the curriculum using the traditional method in learning offensive basketball skills.
