The effect of Posner's model to learning the skill of serving from above of volleyball for students

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of Posner's model and the method used in learning the skill of serving from above in volleyball for students in the control and experimental research groups. The researchers used the experimental method, as the research population included (97) students, and the research sample reached (40) students from the fifth grade of middle school at Martyr Adel Nasser Secondary School for Boys within the General Directorate of Education in Babylon Governorate for the academic year 2023/2024, as the sample was divided into two groups. With (20) students for each group. The experimental group is taught using the Posner model, and the second group is taught using the method used by the teacher. As for statistical methods, the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and Spearman-Brown equation were used. The researchers concluded that Posner's model is effective, within the limits within which the current research was conducted, in learning fifth-grade middle school students the skill of serving from above with volleyball, compared to the method followed in teaching. Applying the steps of Posner's model also helped to stimulate students' motivation toward learning and their love of participating in Different educational situations in the lesson.
