The effect of using the reciprocal and triple reciprocal methods to learning the skills of serving from below and set from above forward of volleyball

Abstract

The aim of the research was to reveal the effect of using the reciprocal and triple reciprocal methods in learning the skills of sending from below and preparing from above forward in volleyball. The experimental method was used for its suitability and the nature of the research. This research was conducted on a sample of eighth grade students at Sharaf Elementary School for Boys for the year (2023-2024). The number of students (50) was divided into two experimental groups. The first experimental group studied using the (reciprocal method), while the second group studied using the (triple reciprocal method). It included the curriculum items prescribed for this academic stage, which are the skills of (serving from below and preparing from above to the front) in volleyball. The program took (6) weeks and the two research groups were equal in (age, height, weight) and skills (sending from below and preparing from above to the front) in volleyball. After that, the educational program was implemented and then the post-test was conducted and the data was collected and processed statistically. The researcher concluded that the two teaching methods (reciprocal and triple reciprocal) achieved learning in the skills of (serving from below and preparing from above to the front) in volleyball. The second experimental group that used the triple reciprocal method achieved a better level in learning the skills of (serving from below and preparing from above to the front) in volleyball. Comparing the first experimental group that used the reciprocal method. The researcher recommended using the triple reciprocal method because of its positive effect on learning the skills of (serving from below and preparing from above to the front) in volleyball.
