The effect of educational units according to Deans’ model to interactive thinking and learning the effectiveness of pole vaulting for students

Abstract

The research aims to identify the impact of educational units based on the Deans model on interactive thinking and learning the effectiveness of pole vaulting, and also to identify the variables of interactive thinking and artistic performance of the pole vaulting event among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Diyala for the academic year 2022-2023. The researcher assumed that there are statistically significant differences between the pre-test and the post-test for the experimental and control groups and in favor of the post-test in learning the effectiveness of pole vaulting for students. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the problem, and the research population was identified as students from the second stage of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Diyala. They represent the total research population and sample (116) students. The exploratory research sample (16), the experimental research sample (30), where they were selected randomly, and the researcher used the interactive thinking scale in the research, and educational units were prepared according to the Deans model. The researcher also used a special form to evaluate the technical performance of the pole vault event. The researcher used statistical processing and the statistical methods used are (percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS and other statistical methods). The researcher concluded that the Deans model had a positive impact on the excellence and raising the level of the students of the experimental group in interactive thinking and learning the effectiveness of pole vaulting.
