Abstract

The importance of this research lies in  fact that the Klossmeier cognitive instructional model is considered one of  educational models that relies on classifying levels of cognitive learning from simple to complex. This classification assists students in making an organized transition from an initial understanding of  skill to application and mastery. Moreover, this model enables learners to link theoretical knowledge with practical performance and enhances their ability to self-correct errors, which is positively reflected in learning speed and performance accuracy.

 research problem is represented by  clear deficiency in employing modern cognitive instructional models within gymnastics lessons, which limits  effectiveness of teaching horizontal bar skills to students of  College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences.  absence of gradual cognitive organization in presenting skills and  lack of consideration for students’ varying levels of understanding contribute to low levels of skill mastery and unstable performance.

 aim of  research is to identify  effect of  Klossmeier cognitive instructional model on teaching certain horizontal bar skills in gymnastics to students of  College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences.  experimental method was adopted, and  research sample consisted of third-year students in  College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences.

After applying  instructional model,  most important conclusion reached was that  Klossmeier cognitive instructional model plays an important and fundamental role in teaching certain skills on  horizontal bar in gymnastics to students of  College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Accordingly,  study recommends adopting  Klossmeier cognitive instructional model due to its importance and essential role in teaching horizontal bar skills in gymnastics.
