الملخص

The research aims to reveal the effect of the self-learning method on cognitive achievement and the accuracy of performing  the forehand and  backhand shot skills in tennis The researcher hypothesized that there are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control group in the post-test for cognitive achievement and the accuracy of performing of  the forehand  and backhand  shots  skills  in tennis . The research community consisted of students of the third academic year at the College of Physical Education / University of Salah al-Din / Erbil for the academic year (2017-2018) and their number (175) students representing sections  of study (ABCDF), and the research sample amounted to (40) students, of which (20) ) students from (A) class represent the experimental group that was studied in the self-learning method, while the control group sample consisted of (20) students studied in the usual method followed . The sample and the teaching method were distributed in a random way (Draw). The two groups of research were equivalent in variables (age - height, mass, forehand and backhand shot  skills).  Achieving the objectives of the research required preparing a cognitive achievement test for the forehand shot skills and determining the accuracy tests of these two skills (forehand and backhand shot in tennis). The researcher also prepared the teaching plans for the self-learning method in learning the forehand and backhand skills, as the educational program reached (6) weeks for the two research groups. After competition ,the post-test was conducted in measuring cognitive achievement and the accuracy of the front and back shot skills in tennis, after which the data were collected and statistically processed using the (SPSS)program   .
