The impact of the Perkins-Blythe model on analytical thinking and learning the skill of receiving the serve among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Waist University

Abstract

The Perkins-Blythe model is one of the models that brings great benefit to students by encouraging, exciting, and motivating them to be cooperative in groups. The importance of the research was highlighted in the research based on the Perkins-Blythe model in analytical thinking and learning the skill of receiving the serve among students of the second stage. The aim of the research was to prepare educational units using the Perkins-Blythe model for the skill of receiving the serve in volleyball and to identify the effect of the Perkins-Blythe model on analytical thinking and the skill of receiving. Serving volleyball for second stage students. The research also aimed to prepare a measure of analytical thinking for the students of the second stage of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Wasit. The researchers adopted the experimental method for the two equal groups, the experimental and the control, and the boundaries of the research community were represented by the students of the second stage of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Wasit, for morning study continuing in the academic year (2023-2024). The number of students was (185) and they were divided into the exploratory sample, which numbered (10) students, and (24) students for the main research sample, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which numbered (12) students, and the control group, which numbered (12) students. As for the sample numbers, it was (100) students, and the remaining ones were excluded. The researchers concluded that the Perkins-Blythe model has a positive impact on analytical thinking and learning the skill of receiving a volleyball serve. Also, applying the steps of the Perkins-Blythe model is appropriate for the students’ mental and physical abilities, as well as generating desire and motivation in them. Active participation in analytical thinking and learning the skill of receiving a volleyball serve. The researchers recommended emphasizing raising the level of students with sufficient cognitive information when learning the practical, applied aspect, and urging teachers to diversify teaching methods for everything new by employing modern models, including the Perkins-Blythe model in teaching volleyball to students. Adopting the analytical thinking scale prepared by researchers in educational centers, Ministry of Education schools, and colleges of physical education and sports sciences.
