Abstract

The current century is witnessing great and rapid progress in all knowledge and science, and this is an indication of the great interest of specialists and researchers in developing the educational process on an ongoing basis in order to raise the sporting level and achieve achievement in all sporting fields.The educational process is one of the fields that has witnessed many changes and scientific developments out of belief in the role it can play in building society and solving its problems. Modern educational methods have emerged in which the center of activity in the learning process moves from the teacher to the learner, as he is the focus of the educational process, in addition to the emergence of methods that take into account individual differences between learners, especially in their abilities and personal characteristics, so they interact with the school on the one hand and with their colleagues on the other hand in a deep, continuous and influential interaction. The educational method is the means of transmitting knowledge and knowledge to the learner, and the more it is appropriate to the educational situation and consistent with the learner’s age, intelligence, ability, and inclinations, the broader, deeper, and more useful the educational goals achieved through it are. In addition, this development has added new responsibilities and duties to the teacher. His role is no longer limited to delivering information and knowledge to the learners, but rather goes beyond that to be the guide and motivator for learning, in addition to his role in creating the appropriate educational atmosphere, understanding the characteristics of the learners, and meeting their needs. It is also his responsibility to choose the best methods and methods that lead to achieving behavioral goals in the shortest possible time and effort.The cooperative method is one of the learning methods that can be used as a strategy in learning volleyball skills, due to the many and diverse skills in this game. The cooperative method has the ability to create synergy between students in the same class, and this synergy makes them more capable of performing.As for the reciprocal method, the learner is sometimes the performer and the second time the observer. Thus, he works on performing the assignment with the ability to discuss the aspects of this assignment with his colleague, which enables the student to correct his colleague’s mistakes. Conversely, it gives the learner a major role in the educational process. Thus, he gives The student has a major role in the educational process.Focusing on one educational method of learning can have a positive impact on some learners and a negative impact on others. Therefore, educational methods must be used that take into account the cognitive styles possessed by the learners so that each learner can achieve his maximum and better understand the skill requirements in all areas. Sports events, and one of these events is the plane, which is one of the sports games that has its own requirements, such as the skill, tactical, intellectual, and psychological elements. This game contains several basic skills, including defensive skills, which the player relies on by repelling the attack and gaining the right to counterattack to obtain points and then Winning.From the above, the importance of research lies in comparing educational methods and knowing which methods are most effective in learning in order to make the learning process more economical in terms of effort, time and cost. Therefore, the researcher sought, as a scientific attempt, to experiment with methods in learning the skills of serving and hitting the volleyball.
