The IMPACT of the Reciprocal Teaching Style on Developing Volleyball Skills Among 10 th-Grade Students with Hearing Impairments in Palestine

Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to identify the impact of the reciprocal teaching style on developing volleyball skills among 10^th-grade students with hearing impairments in Palestine.

Methodology: The researchers used the experimental method with a design of two equal groups, one experimental and one control. The sample consisted of 24 students from Mustafa Sadiq Al-Rafii Secondary School for the Deaf.

Results: There were statistically significant differences (α ≤ 0.05) between the average scores of the two groups in the cognitive test and the observation sheet, favoring the experimental group. The value of Eta squared (η²), which exceeded 0.14, indicated a high effect size.

Conclusion: The reciprocal teaching style significantly contributed to the development of volleyball skills and is suitable for teaching students with hearing impairments. Students with hearing impairments can respond to their teacher when teaching methods are adjusted.
