The effect of the Shamk model on cognitive achievement and learning the technical performance of the javelin throwing activity for students

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effect of the Shamk model on cognitive achievement and learning the technical performance of the javelin throwing activity for students, and to identify the superiority of the effect using the Shamk model and the method followed by the teacher in cognitive achievement and learning the technical performance of the javelin throwing activity for students in the post-tests. The researcher adopted the experimental method by designing two equivalent groups to suit the problem and objectives of the research. The research community was determined by the first-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Karbala, numbering (160) students. They were divided randomly and two sections were chosen (A) and section ((E), each section consisting of (15) students, so that the total sample was (30) students out of a total of (160) students. They were divided into two groups, experimental and control. The most important conclusions reached by the researcher were that the use of the Shamk model achieved a clear improvement in cognitive achievement, learning and technical performance of the javelin throwing activity for students. There is also an advantage for the experimental group in the post-tests of cognitive achievement and technical performance tests for the javelin throwing activity. As for the most important recommendations that the researcher came up with, it is the necessity of using the Shamk model because it helps in learning and improving the technical performance of javelin throwing.
