The College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women at the University of Baghdad held the examination of the PhD dissertation (The Effect of the ADGA Model According to Cognitive Preference on Knowledge Acquisition and the Learning of Serve Reception and Serving Skills in Volleyball for Female Students) by doctoral candidate (Shaimaa Adel Hameed).
The examination committee consisted of: Prof. Dr. Naheda Abdul-Zaid – University of Babylon (Chair, External Member), Prof. Dr. Nihad Mohammed Alwan – Supervisor, Prof. Dr. Najlaa Abbas Nassif – Member, Prof. Dr. Luma Sameer Hammoudi – Member, Prof. Dr. Warda Ali Abbas – Member, Asst. Prof. Dr. Maysaa Nadim Ahmed – Member.
This research aimed to: Design a scale to determine cognitive preferences among second-year female college students. Select appropriate volleyball-related knowledge content for this group. Develop instructional units based on the ADGA model, tailored to students’ cognitive preferences, focusing on teaching serve reception and serving skills in volleyball. Examine the impact of these instructional units on the learning outcomes based on the identified cognitive preferences.
The study concluded that the cognitive preference scale and the knowledge acquisition test were valid and reliable for assessing serve and serve reception skills in volleyball, meeting established psychometric standards for paper-based tools.
It also demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating the ADGA model in practical physical education lessons, showing that its application significantly enhances students’ performance and accuracy in the targeted volleyball skills.
The researcher recommended developing paper-based assessments tailored to the specific needs of female students when applying instructional models and incorporating elements of the ADGA model into practical lesson content to create a balanced integration of mental and physical learning. Adopting the findings of this study to improve the teaching of serve and serve reception skills in volleyball among second-year students in the college.
This research supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
