The effect of the Appleton model on developing personal creativity and learning the technical performance of volleyball serving for students

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the Appleton model in developing personal creativity and learning the technical performance of volleyball serving for students. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research, as the research sample consisted of (40) students from the second stage - College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Wasit for the academic year (2023-2024) distributed into two control and experimental groups with (20) students for each group. The Appleton model was applied to the experimental group in learning the technical performance of volleyball serving. Equivalence and homogeneity were carried out among the members of the research sample. The educational curriculum for the educational material was prepared, which took (8) units, with two educational units per week, and the time of the educational unit was (90) minutes during the period of conducting the experiment, as the experimental curriculum began on 16/1/2024. After completing the prescribed educational curriculum, the post-test was conducted. Among the statistical methods used by the researcher are (arithmetic mean - standard deviation - spring deviation - median - percentage - t-test ) One of the most important conclusions reached by the researcher is that the Appleton model contributed effectively to developing personal creativity and learning the technical performance of serving in volleyball.
