THE EFFECT OF A PROPOSED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM USING TEACHING BY COMPETITIVE LEARNING DUE TO TRAINING NETWORK IN LEARNING SOME ATTACKING BASKETBALL SKILLS

Scientific advance in sports opened new limitless horizons in sport sciences such as teaching and kinetic education methods which witness wide progress and new theories to cope with modern trends in teaching and learning. Basketball is one of the enjoyable team sports that spread rapidly and practiced by both males and females with different ages. It also contains suspense for players and audience in addition to its complete benefit to develop all parts of the body as a result of continuous speed and struggle among defenders and attackers which copes with the nature, euphoria and education motivation of the youth. Thus, the importance of the study becomes clear in testing effective teaching strategies that aim to discipline, control, accuracy, increasing in frequent attempts, considering individual differences, teacher’s participation in giving behavioral educational decisions, variability in educational contents to be consistent with learners’ potentials, overlapping between educational curricula, integrating different patterns of teaching methods and different types of exercise. This, in itself, leads to effective communication in teaching especially in learning some basic basketball skills for beginner students among basketball lessons in Physical Education. As for problem of the study, the researcher found that reasons behind poor performance of students is continuous traditional teaching due to educational curricula for practical subjects including basketball and not using modern educational curricula, strategies and different exercises that help students towards learning and make them practice high valued performance. This can be done by using new educational programs of basic basketball skills and competitive teaching due to training network that increase individual and team competitiveness in learning some basic basketball skills. As for goals of the study, they include: preparing an educational curricula with units using teaching by competition for single, team and group learning due to training network exercises to learn some attacking basketball skills. The researcher used the empirical method on a sample consisting of students of the first year, Faculty of Education; Aljameaa Al Mostanserya (57 thousand students) divided into three empirical groups. The used tools: information collection methods, skill tests, exploratory trial, scientific principles, pre-tests, post-tests, educational curricula and statistical means. The researcher concluded that the proposed educational curriculum using competitive learning due to training network exercise has a positive effect on learning skilled performance level in long pass over shoulder, scoring and jumping skills for sample students.
