The impact of Appleton's model on students' learning of the skill of receiving serves in volleyball

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the Appleton model on learning the skill of receiving the serve in volleyball among second-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. The researcher used the experimental method with the design of two equivalent groups, experimental and control, with pre- and post-tests. The application continued for a specific number of educational units within the volleyball curriculum. A skill test was adopted for this, and the data were statistically analyzed. The results showed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the post-test, which indicates the effectiveness of the model in improving the level of skill performance.
