The Effect of Using Reciprocal and Self – Check Styles on the Development of Motor Sensory Perception for Some Basketball Skills among Students in the Faculty of Physical Education at An-Najah National University

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of using reciprocal and self-check styles on the development of motor sensory perception for some basketball skills among students in the faculty of physical education at An- Najah National University. To achieve that, the study was conducted on a sample consisting of 63 male and female students from the students in the faculty of physical education at An- Najah National University and who registered in basketball course. The sample was divided into three equivalent and equal groups for both male and female students separately, the first experimental group (G1) consisted of 21 students (male= 14) and (female= 7) whom applied to them a proposed learning program by using self-check style, the second experimental group (G2) consisted of 21 students (male= 14) and (female= 7) whom applied to them a proposed learning program by using reciprocal style, and the control group (G3) consisted of 21 students (male= 14) and (female= 7) who was learning by the traditional style. The duration of the program was 10 weeks with 3 learning units per week (50 minutes). The motor sensory perception tests of basketball were conducted before and after the application of program, and (SPSS) program was used to analyze data. The study results revealed that there were statistically significant differences found at (α = 0.05) in all of motor sensory perception variables between pre and post tests in favor of the post tests for both male and female students separately in (G1, G2, G3). Also, ANOVA results indicated that there were statistically significant differences found at (α = 0.05) in the post test of all motor sensory perception variables except (chest pass (numbered circles)) in male- students, LSD post hock test showed significant differences between (G2 and G3) for (G2) in all variables, and significant differences were noticed between (G1 and G3) for G1 in all variables expect (running with dribbling 30 meters), finally, there were significant differences between (G1 and G2) in favor of (G2) for the tests (chest pass, set shooting by one hand from free shot area, and set shooting by one hand from different areas) and no significant differences were found in the other comparisons between means. With regard to female students, ANOVA results indicated that there were statistically significant differences found at (α = 0.05) in the post test of all motor sensory perception variables except (chest pass skill), LSD post hock test showed significant differences between (G2 and G3) for (G2) in all statistically significant variables, and significant differences were noticed between (G1 and G3) for G1 in all variables expect (running with dribbling 30 meters), in addition, there was a significant difference between (G1 and G2) for (G2) in the test ((chest pass (numbered circles)) and no significant differences were found in the other comparisons between means. The researcher recommended several recommendations where the most important was to use reciprocal and self-check styles in teaching the basic basketball skills and the other skills of different sport games.
