The effect of an educational approach using accelerated learning to learning the skill of spiking of volleyball

Abstract

The aim of the research was to prepare an educational program using the accelerated learning method to teach the spiking skill in volleyball to third-year students. It also aimed to identify the effect of an educational approach using accelerated learning in teaching the spiking skill in volleyball to third-year students. The researchers used the experimental method to suit the current study. The researchers deliberately selected the research sample from third-year students in the Department of Physical Education/Faculty of Education - Shaqlawa for the academic year 2022/2023. The research sample consisted of 20 students who were divided into two equal groups, and the experimental and control groups were selected by lottery after the two groups were equal and homogeneous. The accelerated learning method was applied to the experimental group and the same method was applied to the control group. After applying the post-tests of the spiking skill, the data was collected and processed statistically. The researchers concluded that the experimental group that used the accelerated learning method outperformed the control group using the same learning method in the smash skill in volleyball. In light of this, the researchers recommended using the accelerated learning method in the universities of the Kurdistan Region because it is suitable for them to use the semester system and not the annual system as is used in the rest of the Iraqi universities.
