Abstract

The  research significance  lies in the use of the McCarthy model according to the learning styles in a scientific manner and commensurate with the capabilities of the learners as the researchers believe that it will develop the cognitive achievement and accuracy of the preparation skill in volleyball for students.

Through the researchers' experience and their knowledge of many research studies, their presence in the educational process and their observations of the educational units, they observed that there are a large number of students (learners) in the third stage facing difficulty in mastering the preparation skill because it is one of the complex skills and they need a lot of time in mastering it properly, and the researchers believe there  is the lack of use of modern teaching methods, so it was necessary for this activity  to receive wide attention through involving  new strategies or models in the process of developing cognitive achievement and preparation skills. So, the researchers decided to go into this experiment by using the McCarthy model according to the learning styles and the goal  is an attempt to rapidly develop cognitive achievement and mastery of the preparation skill. The research aimed to identify the effect of the McCarthy model according to the learning patterns on developing cognitive achievement and the accuracy of the preparation skill in volleyball for students as well as to identifying  the preference in the influence between the McCarthy model according to the learning patterns and the method used by the teacher in the development of cognitive achievement and accuracy of preparation skill in volleyball for students. The researchers used  the experimental approach in solving the research problem. The research community has been identified by students of the third stage / College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / University of Kufa / for the academic year 2018-2019 and their number is (60) students. The researchers selected a sample of (48) students distributed equally into two groups (experimental, control), as Section (B) represented the experimental group, and Section (C) the control group, and were classified equally by (6) students for each of the learning styles of both groups,  selected  by the simple random method(draw).
