Abstract
Introduction: Manipulation and control of the environment improve motor skills, increase sports participation, and promote more active social engagement. These factors, in turn, enhance physical and motor competence. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of traditional education and TGFU on the perceived competence, sports participation, and basketball skills of 10-12-year-old students.
Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental. The statistical population of the research included 10-12-year-old male students of Meybod City, 45 of whom were selected using the available purposive sampling method. The samples were randomly assigned into three groups of 15 people, including traditional training, TGFU training, and control groups. To collect data, a Sports Participation Motivation Questionnaire, Perceived Competence Scale, AAHPERD controlled dribble, and basketball passing tests were used. To analyze the data, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Benferroni's post hoc tests were used at a significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: The results showed that the perceived competence (physical, cognitive, and social), sports participation, and learning basketball skills (pass and dribble) in the traditional and TGFU groups were better than the control group (P≤0.05). Also, these results were significantly higher in the TGFU group than in the traditional group (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: Teachers and coaches can use the TGFU teaching method to increase sports participation, improve students' competencies, and provide an attractive and motivating learning experience.
