The Tactical Game in Basketball program significantly improved student learning across more variables than Direct Instruction in Basketball. This basketball teaching method is recommended for better student outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Sports Science
- Pedagogy
- Motor Learning
Background:
- Traditional Direct Instruction in Basketball (DIB) may not be the most effective method for skill acquisition.
- Alternative pedagogical approaches, such as the Tactical Game in Basketball (TGB) program, warrant investigation for their impact on student learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the effectiveness of two distinct basketball teaching methodologies: Direct Instruction in Basketball (DIB) and Tactical Game in Basketball (TGB).
- To analyze and contrast the learning indicators and performance profiles of students exposed to each methodology.
Main Methods:
- A sample of 40 students was divided into two groups, each receiving a validated intervention program.
- Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests to compare groups, and related samples t-tests to assess within-group changes.
- Learning indicators related to dribbling, shooting, passing, movement, spacing, defense, decision-making, execution, and overall performance were evaluated.
Main Results:
- Significant differences in performance profiles were observed between the DIB and TGB groups across nine variables.
- The TGB program demonstrated superior outcomes, with significant improvements in dribbling, shooting, passing, movement, spacing, off-ball defense, help defense, decision-making, execution, and total performance.
- Students in the DIB program improved in only three variables, whereas TGB students improved in thirteen variables.
Conclusions:
- The Tactical Game in Basketball (TGB) methodology leads to demonstrably better student learning outcomes compared to Direct Instruction in Basketball (DIB).
- Educators are recommended to adopt the TGB approach to enhance basketball instruction and improve student skill acquisition and overall performance.
