The effect of an educational curriculum according to the Dunn and Dunn model in learning the skill of long serve in badminton for female students.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to preparing the effect of an educational curriculum according to Dunn's model in learning the skill of long serve in badminton for female students, and identifying the effect of an educational curriculum according to Dunn and Dunn model in learning the skill of long serve by badminton for female students. The researchers used the experimental method by designing two equal groups with a pre and post-test, which is the closest and most honest to solve many scientific problems practically and theoretically and is commensurate with the nature of the research problem. The research community was determined by the students of the second stage - College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / University of Karbala for the academic year (2020-2021 AD), and their number is (70) students, divided into (6) study divisions (A-B-C-D-H-W), noting that two divisions are combined together during one unit of instruction. (20) Female students were adopted as the research community, and the research sample was selected by dividing them into two groups by lottery method (10) students as an experimental group and (10) as a control group, while (10) were selected as exploratory experiment sample. One of the most important results reached by the researcher is that: The use of the educational curriculum according to the Dunn and Dunn model has achieved a clear improvement in the development of visual tracking, cognitive achievement and basic badminton skills for female students, the education based on the (Dun and Dunn) model attracts female students to learn because the model takes care of the female students' tendencies and gives them the appropriate freedom, and learning according to the Dunn and Dunn model is more effective, as the model designs an organized method according to steps, by defining an appropriate learning environment for the students' desires. One of the most important recommendations recommended by the researchers is that: Necessity of using the Dunn and Dunn model as an important and successful teaching method in various fields of the educational process, adopting the Dunn and Dunn model in teaching students basic badminton skills, and necessity of adopting educational curricula according to learners’ patterns to achieve faster and better learning.
