The efficiency of three different learning methods in teaching basketball two-step

Learning methods and improving the technique performance are an unavoidable phenomenon in the Physical Education (PE). Together with teaching methods and practice methods, they are one of the basic conditions for successful work. Performing a basketball two-step, as one of the elements of the basketball game in primary education, represents a complex motor movement for pupils. So, the aim of the research was to determine which type of learning method during teaching basketball two- step in the field of PE is most effective for primary education pupils. The tested methods were the analytical, synthetic and combined learning methods. The survey was conducted in three fourth grades classes (43 pupils in total). Each class underwent pre-assigned basketball two-step training and thus one fourth grade class worked by synthetic, second by analytical and third by combined learning method. Descriptive statistics indicate that the best results were obtained by the combined method of basketball two-step, while the analytical learning method is second. The synthetic method of teaching basketball two- step in primary education proved irrelevant, as it produced the worst result. The results of the One-Way ANOVA statistical analysis show that the difference of the three average scores obtained from the three different learning methods in teaching basketball two-step is statistically significant. LSD post hoc test showed that statistically significant difference exists between the synthetic and the combined learning methods. A comparison of the synthetic and analytical learning method did not indicate a statistically significant difference, nor did the comparison between the analytical and the combined learning method. In conclusion, the research results show that the combined learning method is suitable for learning the basketball two-step in primary education students. This can be attributed to the fact that the combined method of learning contains both an analytical and a synthetic learning method. If the motor task is not understood at first, students perform the movement analytically and then they can perform it synthetically, in its entirety.
