Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to preparing educational units for some basic tennis skills according to the Nedham model, and identifying the effect of educational design according to the Nedham model in learning some basic tennis skills.

Research methodology: The researcher used the experimental method using the two equivalent groups method to suit the nature of the research problem. The research sample was selected from the second-stage students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, whose number was (45) students. They were divided into two experimental and control groups, each group (20) students, and the remaining students are the individuals of the exploratory sample (5) students. In light of this, the researcher conducted equivalence and homogeneity for the two research groups before applying the program prepared by the researcher.

Result: The researcher attributes the reason the educational design according to the Needham model and its role in the learning process for some basic skills in tennis, as it had a positive impact due to the variety of exercises it contains, which were chosen with extreme precision. The researcher also attributes the differences that appeared in favor of the experimental group to the educational design according to the Needham model

Conclusions: The number of educational units according to the Needham model that were used was more appropriate and suitable in learning some basic skills in tennis.
