The Impact of a Computer-Based Educational Program on Learning the Accuracy of the Forehand Serve Skill in Squash

Abstract

The aim of this study, which employed the experimental method, was to determine the impact of a computer-based educational program on learning the accuracy of the forehand serve skill in squash. The study sample consisted of 20 students, which were chosen deliberately. They were divided into two equal groups, the experimental group, learned by using the proposed computer-based educational program for a period of six weeks, three times a week for a period of 50 minutes in each unit, and the control group, learned by using the teacher's teaching method for a period of six weeks, three times a week, for a period of 50 minutes in each unit. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of performance of the members of the experimental group and control group in the skill of Forehand Serve used in the squash game and in favor of the post-measurement. In addition, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the control and experimental groups in the variable (Forehand Serve), which shows that the electronic educational program had a positive impact on the skill of the forehand serve and in favor of the experimental group. The researcher also recommended to use the computer on the skills to be learned and mastered, which makes the learner more focused and helps to diversify and motivate learners to improve performance for the better.
