The impact of using the Bloom model for cooperative learning in teaching some basic skills in volleyball to fifth-grade science students

Abstract

The importance of the study is to identify the impact of using the Bloom model for cooperative learning in developing and teaching some basic skills in volleyball. The research problem is that volleyball is a game with motor skills that requires an elevation in the level of skill learning, which in turn reflects on performance development during play. The aim of the research is to use cooperative learning strategies, as this approach has been accepted by specialists in sports matters to make female students the focus of the educational process during the performance of learned skills and participation in the interaction of the learning process. The experimental method was used with two equivalent groups with pre-and post-tests, and the research group was selected from fifth-grade science students at Al-Amal Scientific Preparatory School in Baghdad for the academic year (2023-2024).

The total number of students is (99) female students, who represent the research community, distributed across three classes: (A, B, C). The research sample was randomly selected through a lottery from among the fifth-grade science students, with the sample size for the experimental group being (33) students from class (A) and the sample size for the control group being (33) students from class (B). The research sample constitutes (66.66%) of the original community, and a pilot sample of (10) students was selected through the lottery and excluded from the main research sample. The educational units were applied to the experimental group, consisting of (36) educational units, including an introductory unit, with two educational units implemented per week. The results were processed using appropriate statistical methods. The researcher concluded that the educational curriculum introduced to the experimental group was a key factor in the experimental group’s superiority in learning some basic volleyball skills among the female students under study compared to the control group.
