The Effect of Educational Exercises Based on the Kemp Model on Learning the Forehand and Backhand Skills in Lawn Tennis Among Students
...Show More Authors

The study aimed to design educational exercises based on the Kemp Model to facilitate the learning of forehand and backhand strokes in tennis among students, as well as to identify the effect of these exercises on learning the two skills. To achieve this aim, the researcher employed an experimental method using a pre- and post-test design with equivalent experimental and control groups, as it suited the research problem and objectives. The research population consisted of third-year morning students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Baghdad, for the academic year 2025–2026, totaling 245 students distributed across seven sections (A, B, C, D, E, W, Y). The third-year students were selected because they study tennis within their curriculum. The sample was chosen randomly by selecting two sections to represent the experimental and control groups and then 25 students from each section were randomly selected: Section C (25 students) and Section W (25 students) making a total sample of 50 students representing 20.40% of the population. The sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (Section C) which learned the forehand and backhand strokes using the Kemp Model and a control group (Section W) which learned using the traditional method followed by the instructor (command style) according to the prescribed physical education curriculum. Appropriate statistical treatments were applied    and the results showed that educational exercises based on the Kemp Model had a positive effect on learning the forehand and backhand strokes. Furthermore    these exercises provided opportunities for cooperative learning through the use of instructional aids as well as increased motivation excitement and competition among students which facilitated the learning process. The researcher recommends adopting the Kemp Model in teaching forehand and backhand strokes in tennis as it supports the effective implementation and achievement of educational objectives.
