Effects of Learning Management Using Simpson’s Psychomotor Domain on the Basketball Playing Ability of Seventh-grade Students at Chuangyi School
Abstract
Background and Aim: The development of basketball playing ability, guided by Simpson’s psychomotor domain, is crucial for systematically building physical skills through progressive, well-structured instruction. This approach ensures that players not only acquire the necessary motor skills but also refine them through practice, leading to improved performance and greater mastery of the game. This experimental research aimed to 1) compare the students’ basketball playing ability before and after receiving using Simpson’s psychomotor domain, 2) compare the students’ basketball playing ability with the determined criterion of 70 percent, and 3) assess the student’s satisfaction on using Simpson’s psychomotor domain.
Materials and Methods: The sample of this study was a class of 30 seventh-grade students at Chuangyi School. They were derived from cluster random sampling. The research instruments were (1) Eight lesson plans using Simpson’s practice skill with a very high level of appropriateness, (2) a basketball skill test, and (3) a student satisfaction questionnaire with a reliability index of 0.72. The statistics used to analyze data were mean, standard deviation, t-test for dependent samples, and t-test for one sample.
Results: The results revealed that 1) after using Simpson’s practice skill, the students’ basketball playing ability after learning through using Simpson’s psychomotor domain than before at a statistically significant level of .05; 2) the students’ basketball playing ability was higher than the determined criterion of 70% at a significance level of .05; and 3) the students’ satisfaction after learning through using Simpson’s psychomotor domain was at a higher level. (M=4.22, SD=0.75).
Conclusion: The knowledge gained from the research is that seven-step learning management using Simpson’s psychomotor domain, which consists of (1) perception, (2) readiness, (3) guided Response, (4) mechanism, (5) complex overt response, (6) improvement and application, and (7) origination. The seven-step Simpson’s psychomotor domain enhances basketball abilities by progressively teaching, practicing, and applying skills, leading to improved understanding, proficiency, and competitive confidence.
