The effect of brainstorming strategy on the skills of jump shooting and long-range shooting in basketball among second-year students

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the role of the brainstorming strategy in developing the learning and retention of jump shooting and long-range shooting skills in basketball among second-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. It also aimed to reveal the differences between the brainstorming strategy and the traditional teaching method in learning and retaining these two skills among second-year students. The researcher adopted an experimental approach with a two-group design (experimental and control) as it was suitable for the nature of the research problem. The research sample consisted of (20) second-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, who were equally divided into two groups of (10) students each by lottery. The experimental group studied using the brainstorming strategy, while the control group studied using the traditional teaching method. The researcher used several devices, tools, and data collection methods, including: scientific observation, expert and specialist opinions, and skills tests. The educational units were implemented for both groups according to the same curriculum, but with different teaching methods. A post-test was then administered to the variables. The research. For the purpose of statistically analyzing the data, the researcher used: the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test for paired samples, t-test for unpaired samples, and absolute retention coefficient. The research results proved the effectiveness of the brainstorming strategy in improving the learning and retention of the long-range shooting and jump shooting skills among second-year basketball students. The experimental group outperformed the control group in skill performance and retention. The research recommends adopting this strategy in sports teaching, training teachers in its use, and conducting future studies to expand its application to other skills.
