The Effect of Blended Learning Strategy on Improving Technical Performance in Discus Throw for Female Students during Physical Education Lessons

Abstract

                                                    Abstract
The study aimed to identify the impact of the blended learning strategy on improving the technical performance of the discus throw for female students. The experimental method, with a two-group design (experimental and control), was employed due to its suitability for the research objectives. The study sample consisted of a group of female students, where the experimental group followed an educational program that integrated on-field practical instruction with interactive electronic media (analytical videos and learning platforms), while the control group continued with the traditional method. The results revealed statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test measurements, in favor of the post-test for the experimental group. Furthermore, the experimental group outperformed the control group in the level of mastery of the technical stages of the discus throw (from the ready position to the release). The researchers concluded that blended learning contributed to providing continuous visual feedback, which helped the students overcome common technical errors and develop the required motor coordination.
