The Impact of the KWL Plus Strategy on Motor Satisfaction and Learning Some Basic Tennis Skills for Students

Abstract

This research aims to identify the effect of the K.W.L. Plus strategy on motor satisfaction and the learning of some basic tennis skills among students. It also aims to determine the superiority of the K.W.L. Plus strategy and the method used. The researchers hypothesized that there would be significant differences between the pre- and post-test results of the two research groups in the study variables. The researchers used the experimental method with a control and experimental group design using pre- and post-tests. After conducting the pre-tests and fulfilling all the basic requirements, the researchers began implementing the educational units based on the K.W.L. Plus strategy. The units were applied to the experimental group over a period of eight weeks, at a rate of one educational unit per week. The experiment was conducted from Wednesday, October 15, 2025, to Wednesday, December 3, 2025. While the control group received their lessons in the traditional manner, after collecting, classifying, and statistically processing the data, the researchers concluded that the KWL Plus strategy proved clearly effective as an integrated educational approach in teaching tennis skills. It fostered motor satisfaction and improved technical performance and accuracy in the core skills studied. Furthermore, the structured, constructive nature of the strategy, through its sequential stages (K, W, L, Plus), empowered students cognitively, transforming them from passive recipients to active learners who plan their learning, monitor their progress, and organize their knowledge.
