Enhance perceived self-efficacy, skill performance, and cognitive level in fencing using Jigsaw Technique

Abstract

The importance of this study in being one of the studies that is concerned about involvement of female students in the learning process by using an Interactive learning technique in learning fencing, which may contribute to improving their skill performance and cognitive level and enhancing perceived self-efficacy. This study aimed to enhance perceived self-efficiency, skill performance, and cognitive level in fencing using Jigsaw technique, for female students on the Faculty of Physical Education, Sadat City University. The researcher used the experimental method for two groups, experimental (used Jigsaw technique) and control (used Lecture method), by using pre and post measurements for perceived self-efficiency, skill performance, and cognitive level in fencing, for experimental and control groups, the researcher used, Perceptive Self-Efficiency Scale, and Cognitive achievement test in fencing, on a sample of (63) second year female students on the Faculty of Physical Education, Sadat City University, (15) for survey study, (48) for basic study. The results showed that the students' perceived self-efficacy was at an intermediate level. there were statistically significant differences between pre and post measurements for experimental and control groups, in perceived self-efficacy and both the skill performance and cognitive level in the direction of post measurements. there were statistically significant differences in the post-measurement between the experimental and control groups in both the skill and cognitive levels, in the direction of experimental group, while there were no statistically significant differences in the level of perceived self-efficacy
