Effects of Teaching Program Based on Teaching Games for Understanding Model on Volleyball Skills and Enjoyment in Secondary School Students

This study investigated the effects of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model implemented in physical education classes on volleyball skills and enjoyment secondary school students. A total 54 students (18 girls) from two participated this study, whom 28 (age = 15.5 ± 0.7 years) were randomized to a TGfU (EXP) group 26 15.7 0.6 control (CON) that maintained their usual physical-education activities. Four tests conducted: service, overhead, forearm passing setting. Additionally, sport questionnaire was used first last week intervention. Results repeated measures analysis variance (ANOVA) showed significant interaction overhead (F 1, 58 5.273, p 0.025, Partial ƞ2 0.083) 4.641, 0.035, 0.074). When examining impact program service accuracy, there main effect time (p < 0.01) with both groups improving result after six-weeks intervention (EXP-ES 0.32, % change 9.1% vs. CON-ES 0.57, 14.4%). There no or × setting ˃ 0.05). The EXP significantly better results compared CON ≤ findings show effectiveness short duration (12 lessons) an educational context improve skills. We also highlight importance during these traditional classes.
