Influence of using the three-step interview strategy on cognitive achievement and refereeing skills in futsal

Abstract

The research aims to study the Influence of the three-step interview strategy on cognitive achievement and refereeing skills in futsal. The researcher adopted the experimental approach, and the research was conducted on a sample of fifth-year students at the Paytakht Private institute of Physical Education in Erbil Governorate, where the sample (42 students) was divided into two groups: an experimental group that studied according to the proposed strategy, and a control group that studied using the traditional method. The equivalence of the two groups was verified in the variables of age, height, mass, and basic physical skills, Refereeing and Cognitive Achievement with the selection of section (A) for the experimental group and section (B) for the control group, with 20 students for each group. The researcher used an observation form that included four axes to evaluate aspects of arbitration. Its apparent validity was verified by presenting it to specialists.

After analyzing the results using the t-test, the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in acquiring refereeing skills and cognitive achievement, confirming the effectiveness of the Three-Step Interview Strategy compared with the traditional teaching method. The researcher recommends adopting this strategy in teaching football refereeing to fifth-year students, conducting similar studies across different educational levels and various sports disciplines, and encouraging the implementation of innovative instructional strategies within the educational process.
