The Effect of Audio-Visual Didactic Transmission on Learning the Artistic Performance of the Skill of Crushing Beating and Volleyball Barrier for Students

Abstract

The study addressed the importance of transmitting the impact of audio-visual didactic transmission on the learning and training process, especially when applied to the learning of basic technical skills. The research focused on studying the effectiveness of this type of transfer in learning the skills of smashing and blocking in the game of volleyball among undergraduate students. The research aims to investigate how to achieve positive transfer between skills and rely on the common elements between them as a means of improving technical performance. The study sample was deliberately selected from second-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at Anbar University for the academic year 2025-2026, and the number of them reached 92 students, who were divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group first trained the smashing skill according to specific educational steps, before moving on to learning the skill of smashing. As for the control group, they started their training with the skill of crushing and then learned to hit the crush. The training lasted for six weeks, with an average of one training module per week for 90 minutes, in addition to an additional weekly training module of the same duration. The learning steps included the stages of approaching, rising, striking and falling, and the training was supported by explanation and clarification with the presentation of a kinetic model. After implementing the training program and conducting pre- and post-tests to measure the level of performance in both skills, the researchers found that the experimental group that started with the smash training showed a significant superiority in learning the smashing transmission compared to the control group. The researchers concluded that the order of learning skills, according to the way the effect of audio-visual didactic transmission is transmitted, effectively contributes to improving performance and skill development in volleyball. Based on the results, the researchers recommended the importance of using this method to enhance the learning of volleyball skills, especially the skills of the crushing and the barrier wall, which supports the development of students' athletic performance and contributes to the improvement of the educational process.
