The Impacts of Pictures and Animation Accompanied by A Changing Sequence of Exercises Scheduling On Learning and Retaining Some Basic Volleyball Skills of University Students

Abstract

The current study aims at identifying the effects animation and images attached to the schedule of the changing sequential exercise between the pre and post-tests in learning some basic skills of volleyball, as well as exploring the differences between the three research groups in the post-tests. The researcher used a purposive sampling technique to recruit the participants (N= 30) of the study who were third-year students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Science at the University of Sulaimani. The participants were divided into three equal groups, two experimental groups, and one control group. The educational curriculum consists of 15 units for each group and two educational units per week, and the allocated time for each educational unit was 90 minutes, and the time for pictures and animation was 5 minutes for each skill meaning 2.5 minutes for moving pictures and 2.5 minutes for animation. The results of the study show that the use of images and animations accompanied by the schedule of the changing sequential exercises had a positive effect on learning basic volleyball skills. Attaching the images and animations to the scheduling of the changing series of exercises led to the acceleration of the learning process.
