The Effectiveness of the Blended Learning Strategy in Learning the Skills of Combined Attack with the Fencing Weapon for Students

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the blended learning strategy in developing the learning of composite attack skills with the shin weapon in the sport of fencing among the students of the third stage at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences. The educational program was built based on the Biggs model with its three modes (superficial, deep, and achievementary) due to its role in organizing the learning process and motivating the student.

The researcher adopted the experimental method, and pre and post tests were conducted for the control and experimental groups. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the blended learning strategy in improving the performance of complex attack skills.

The research concluded that this strategy supports gradual understanding and practical application, and contributes to enhancing student motivation and developing their performance. The researcher recommended the adoption of blended learning in teaching complex skills, and training teaching staff to apply blended learning in practical courses
