The effects of the integrative strategy on fostering reflective thinking and imparting basic basketball offensive techniques to female students

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop instructional materials that teach fundamental basketball skills to female students enrolled in the first year of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Girls at the University of Baghdad while also encouraging reflective thinking (RT). Research methodology: the researcher chose the experimental methodology with the two equal group's method. Finding the community and choosing the right sample for the study's kind and goals are essential to the accomplishment of any research project. A sample for the primary experiment was picked at random after the researcher confirmed the students' first-year basketball curriculum. This study community consisted of (40) fourth-year female students for the year (2022-2023). The number of students was splitinto (2) groups. Twenty students in-group (B) represent the experimental group, which follows the curriculum that the researcher has developed in an integrated, strategic manner.Result:The method of selecting the (integrative) strategy that was given to the students is right to the level of their skills and characteristics, as well as while taking into consideration the distinct characteristics among them by means of the presentation offeredby the stations—from a complete demonstration of the skill, then a slow delivery, then the appearance of the integrated strategy—is also attributed as the reason for the superiority of the members of the experimental group.Concludes: The study concludes that the integrated approach has a beneficial impact on the post-tests for reflective thinking and the growth of basketball skills.
