الملخص

The research aims at identifying the effect of reciprocal teaching strategies on the acquisition of some fundamental skills in Tennis  among female students. Did the reciprocal teaching strategy achieve a positive outcome in learning the skilled performance of serve? Did the reciprocal teaching strategy achieve a positive outcome in learning the skilled performance of the forehand and the backhand ? The researcher used the experimental method in designing an experimental group, selecting 56 female Tennis students from the Faculty of Physical Education using purposive sampling. It is a teaching program aiming at teaching the reciprocal strategy in Tennis for female students. The use of the reciprocal strategy in teaching the serve skill has had a positive impact on learning outcome, and this is evident through the post measurement of the study. One of the most important conclusions is that the use of the reciprocal strategy in teaching the skill of the forehand has had a positive outcome on learning, and this is evident through the post measurement of the study. The use of the reciprocal strategy in teaching the skill of the backhand has had a positive outcome on learning, and this is evident through the post measurement of the study. One of the most important recommendations of the research is the need for applying the proposed educational program using the reciprocal strategy to teach the basic skills in Tennis and designing educational programs using the reciprocal strategy to teach other Tennis skills for female students as well as for different ages.
