The importance of this study lies in understanding how reverse learning affects the process of acquiring and achieving performance in the long jump among college students efficiently, saving time and effort. It also aims to highlight its positive impact on reaching desired learning outcomes and improving students’ performance levels within the college environment.
Therefore, using alternative (new) teaching methods is seen as the best way to move away from traditional approaches. Accordingly, the researcher decided to study the impact of the reverse learning method on students' learning and achievement in the long jump, aiming to find an effective teaching approach that helps instructors reach their educational goals efficiently and effectively.
The study aimed to:
- Examine the impact of using reverse learning and traditional methods on students' acquisition and achievement in the long jump event.
The researcher employed the experimental method. The study sample included 36 students, divided into two groups: 18 students in the experimental group, which used the reverse learning method, and 18 students in the control group, which used the traditional method. The sample was selected through simple random sampling (lottery method). The participants were matched based on age, height, and weight. The program lasted for seven weeks, with two sessions per week for each group, aligned with their respective learning methods. Each session was 90 minutes long. The researcher utilized several statistical tools that helped achieve the study's objectives.
The researcher reached the following main conclusions:
- Both teaching methods had a positive and effective impact on learning the long jump event.
- The reverse learning method outperformed the traditional method in learning the long jump event.
The reverse learning method outperformed the traditional method in performance achievement in the long jump event
