The Effect of Information Gap Strategy on Learning Dribbling and Scoring Skills in Football for Students
Keywords:
Information Gap Strategy, Dribbling and Scoring Skills in FootballAbstract
Importance of the Study:
The significance of this research lies in its rigorous scientific endeavor to utilize the information gap strategy, a form of active learning, which the researchers believe has a positive impact on the acquisition of fundamental soccer skills, including dribbling.
Research Objectives:
This study aims to investigate the effect of the information gap strategy on learning dribbling and shooting skills.
Methodology:
The study sample consisted of first-year students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al Ain University during the first semester of the academic year 2024-2025. The researchers employed an experimental design with two equivalent groups: a control group and an experimental group.
Key Findings:
The primary findings revealed that the experimental group, which implemented the information gap strategy, significantly outperformed the control group, which received traditional instructor-led teaching, in learning dribbling and shooting skills in soccer.
Recommendations:
The researchers recommend conducting further studies that explore the information gap strategy with different samples and at various educational levels not covered in the current study.
