The impact of educational units using the Lorsbach model on developing some physical variables and performing the weight throwing activity for students

Being interested in and practicing the weight throw activity, and through her review of the educational units at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Wasit University, the researcher noticed that a large number of students struggled with skill performance. They failed to reach the required technical level in performing the weight throw activity, despite repeated skill performance, guidance, and feedback from the instructor. The researcher explains that the difficulty of the activity and its performance, the shortcomings in the use of teaching strategies and models, and the changing roles and duties of learners and teachers in the Lorsbach model may yield greater results from learning to performing the skill for this activity, as well as adding a new role for the subject teacher in accordance with constructivist theory. Therefore, the researcher decided to test the Lorsbach model to develop some physical variables and perform the weight throw activity for students. Research Objectives Prepare educational units based on the Lorsbach model to develop some physical variables and the students' weight-pushing activity. To identify the effect of the Lorsbach model on developing some physical variables and achieving the students' weight-pushing activity. Conclusions The Lorsbach model used (the experimental group) and the method used by the subject teacher (the control group) had a positive impact on developing some physical variables and achieving the students' weight-pushing activity. The members of the experimental group (the Lorsbach model) outperformed the members of the control group (the teacher's method) in developing some physical variables and achieving the students' weight-pushing activity.
