The Effect of Cognitive Restructuration Style According to The Cognitive Theory On Motor Fluency Improvement And Learning Some Serving Skill in Table Tennis

Abstract

 The research aimed at designing an educational sessions based on cognitive reconstruction style according to the cognitive theory for developing motor fluency and learning serving in table tennis. The researcher hypothesized that the educational sessions have a positive effect on the development of motor fluency and serving skill learning in table tennis. The researcher used the experimental method with two equal groups and pre and posttests to achieve the aims of the study. The subjects were (36) 1^st grade secondary school students from Al Jolan Secondary school. The subjects were divided into two groups; experimental and controlling groups. The researcher concluded that cognitive restructuration style has a positive effect on the development of motor fluency and serving skill learning in table tennis. Finally the researcher recommended using this style in learning motor skills, especially serving, as well as benefiting from the advantages of this style in learning basic skills in table tennis.
