The effect of using the cognitive conflict strategy on learning the skills of blocking and defending the court in volleyball for students

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to preparing educational units using the cognitive conflict strategy in learning the skills of blocking and defending the court in volleyball for students, and knowing the effect of the cognitive conflict strategy on learning the skills of blocking and defending the court in volleyball for students. The researchers used the experimental method for two equal groups, control and experimental, with a pre- and post-test. The research group consisted of first-year students from the College of Physical Education, University of Kufa, who divided (42) students into two sections (B) and (C). A group has been selected. (B) is an experimental research group represented randomly, (C) represents the control group, and samples are randomly selected from the two groups, and each of them includes 10 students in Group (B) the experimental group and (10) students from Group (C) for the control group, and thus The sample constitutes 47.6% of the original population. One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: The cognitive conflict strategy prepared by the researcher has proven effective in performing the skills of blocking and defending the court in volleyball (for the experimental group), and there is progress for the control group in learning the skills of blocking and defending the court with volleyball for the students. One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that: Using the cognitive contrast strategy in learning basic volleyball skills for students, and work to organize the content of the study material with an educational design in accordance with the steps of the cognitive conflict strategy and in a way that is consistent with achieving the educational goals set in other sporting events.
