Abstract

Background: Implementation of innovative teaching methods in physical education, such as peer instruction, can enhance health outcomes among students. While sports like basketball improve specific skills, the overarching goal is to promote overall health by reducing the risk of chronic conditions and enhancing mental well-being. Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the peer teaching method in developing basketball skills, including dribbling and shooting, among second-stage students. It aims to contribute insights into effective teaching methodologies within physical education programs.  Method: An experimental design was employed, comparing a control group using traditional teaching methods with an experimental group using the peer teaching method. Pre- and post-tests were conducted, and data were analyzed using statistical methods. Results: The implementation of the peer teaching method significantly contributed to students' acquisition of dribbling and shooting basketball skills. The experimental group, utilizing the peer method, demonstrated superior performance compared to the control group, which followed the conventional curriculum in the college. Notably, the experimental group excelled in high dribbling, low dribbling, free throw, and shooting from the jump. Conclusion: The study highlights the benefits of the peer teaching method in enhancing basketball skills and recommends its integration into physical education programs. The findings support the adoption of educational units structured around the peer method due to its demonstrable impact on skill acquisition. Moreover, it advocates for ongoing exploration of diverse teaching methods and activities to optimize educational outcomes.
