The effect of the Bransford and Stein model on probing thinking in volleyball

Abstract

The current study aimed to prepare a measure of probing thinking for students in the second stage, prepare educational units according to the Bransford and Stein model in probing thinking in volleyball, and identify the effect of the Bransford and Stein model in probing thinking in volleyball for students. The researchers used the experimental approach by designing two equal groups (control and experimental). The researcher's population included students of the second stage in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Karbala for the academic year (2023-2024), which amounted to (86) students. As for the research sample, it amounted to (30) students, as they were chosen randomly and were divided into two groups. There were (15) students for each group, and the data was statistically processed for the investigated variables using the statistical package (SPSS). The researchers concluded that the Bransford and Stein model had a positive impact on the superiority and raising the level of the experimental group in probing thinking in volleyball. The researchers recommended the necessity of relying on teaching models that Learners are the main focus in order to achieve the best results.
