Abstract
The importance of this research lies in enhancing the level of learning and retention through a well-structured educational program based on Ausubel’s Theory, which has educational objectives that contribute to effective learning and improving the required learning outcomes, including the fundamental basketball skills for students. Research Problem: Teaching and instructing individual basic offensive skills in basketball requires first understanding these skills and then reinforcing them in memory to ensure proper learning and retention. These are essential requirements in the learning process. Therefore, it is necessary to have a theory or strategy that strengthens this concept and facilitates the correct teaching of fundamental basketball skills. Research Objective: The main objective of this study is to identify the impact of Ausubel’s Theory on teaching students some basic individual offensive skills in basketball. The researcher used the experimental method with an equivalent group design. The research sample consisted of first-stage students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Basrah. Conclusions: The study concluded that Ausubel’s Theory achieved the educational objectives and enabled more effective lesson delivery through the teaching of some basic individual offensive basketball skills to students. Recommendations: The study recommends adopting Ausubel’s Theory, as it proved effective in achieving educational goals and enabling more effective lesson delivery in teaching fundamental individual offensive skills in basketball to students.
