The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of three different teaching methods on the volleyball learning of undergraduate students. The three methods include the traditional teaching method (TTM), teaching games for understanding (TGfU), and integrated teaching method (ITM) which combines TTM and TGfU. Effectiveness of learning was evaluated through the improvement of volleyball skill, motivations of learning, and classroom climate. A quasi- experimental design was employed. A total of 166 undergraduate students was divided into three groups and taught with different methods. Following the pre-tests, the post-tests were taken immediately after an eight-week lesson. Results showed that both TTM and ITM were more effective than TGfU in the improvement of volleyball skill with statistical discrepancy. On the other hand, TGfU and ITM were shown to be more effective than TTM in terms of both the learning motivation and classroom climate with statistical discrepancy. Results showed that although TGfU has been demonstrated to be rather innovative in recent years, the traditional teaching method still has its own merits. Furthermore, ITM has been showed to enhance not only the volleyball skill but also the motivation and classroom climate. |
