The effect of the I.P.A.G.A model on information processing and learning the skill of defending the volleyball court among students of the college of physical education and sports sciences

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to preparing educational units using the I.P.A.G.A model for the skill of defending the volleyball court, and identifying the effect of the I.P.A.G.A model in processing information and learning the skill of defending the volleyball court among students. The researchers used the experimental method with an experimental and control group, and the research community was represented by second-stage students for the academic year (2023_2024), numbering (80) students. As for the information processing scale, it was dealt with in sequential steps and statistical treatments to be compatible with the sample. Then the researchers prepared educational units, one educational unit per week at a rate of 5 units for a month and a half. The researchers concluded that the model provides sufficient opportunity through educational means that increased the learning process. It also allowed learners to engage the senses of hearing and sight through various educational means and methods that removed stagnation and boredom among students. Increasing students' experience with practice and repetition helps them to accurately develop new movements correctly. The researchers recommended the necessity of combining the theoretical and kinetic aspects when performing the skill. Emphasizing cooperation between students in order to process information for students and learn effectively by introducing visual aids in a different way in order to see the parts of the movement in detail due to its importance in linking the senses of hearing and sight.
