The effect of the Merle educational model on acquiring the forehand and backhand shots in tennis And keep them for students

Abstract

The aim of the research is to identify the effect of the (Merle) educational model on acquiring and retaining the forehand and backhand shots in tennis for students. The two researchers followed the experimental method by designing two equal groups with pre- and post-tests. The research sample was represented by the first-stage students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Babylon (which numbered in number). 20) Students were divided equally into two groups: control and experimental, The process of equivalence was conducted in the forehand and backhand shots in tennis, and the results were processed using appropriate statistical methods. In light of the research results obtained, the two researchers concluded several conclusions, the most important of which is that the use of the (Merle) educational model during the educational units contributed significantly to the acquisition and retention of the forehand and backhand shots in tennis for the students. In addition to the superiority of the experimental group that followed the (Merle) educational model over the control group in the research variables, and among the most important recommendations recommended by the two researchers are: Emphasizing the adoption of the (Merle) educational model in the educational units of the tennis course for students, as well as the interest of tennis teachers in educational models. And work on applying it in educational units.
