The Effect Of Using The Jigsaw Strategy On Students' Learning Of The Forward Roll And Handstand Skills In Artistic Gymnastics

Abstract

One of the most critical demands of the educational process is to focus on students and ensure they play an active role in the learning process, developing creative minds capable of solving problems and making more informed decisions. This can all be achieved through the application of modern educational strategies, as those responsible for the educational process constantly strive to develop teaching methods and work to increase positive interaction between teacher and student. Therefore, the Jigsaw strategy is a broader, more proactive response implemented to ensure the continuity of education, enabling it to achieve its original goals. This emphasizes team collaboration, allowing it to be further developed and enhancing the skills they possess so that they can learn from one another. Therefore, it is one of the most widespread and vital cooperative learning strategies in helping students participate in classroom activities, reducing teacher control over classroom instruction, and creating a learner-centered learning environment. Gymnastics is a challenging skill-based game due to its unique nature, as each skill has a different learning and movement path. The requirements for learning a skill prompt the learner to consider how to utilize their mind effectively and think critically to acquire a new skill. Relying on methods that do not take into account creativity and problem-solving results in a level of learning that falls short of the desired level.
