Investigating the Effectiveness of Teacher Management Styles on Students' motor Education: The Role of Problem-Solving Teaching-Learning Strategy Intervention in Basketball Skills

 The purpose of this study was to, investigating the effectiveness of teacher management styles on students' motor education whith the role of problem-solving teaching-learning strategy intervention in basketball skills.

 The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of, 706 seventh grade male and female students of Sarab city, in the first half of the first semester of the first academic year of 2018-2019. During the first half of the first semester, 30 students were selected as the sample of the research according to the preliminary assessments and purposefully. A randomized design was used in two experimental groups (n = 20) and control (n = 20). The experimental group received a one-on-one session in 12 sessions of 65 minutes per week; the control group was placed on the waiting list for two months. The Wolfgang and Glickman (1986) Dimensional Movement Training Questionnaire was used to collect information. To analyze the research data using SPSS software, univariate analysis of covariance (ANOVA) was used at a significance level of 0.001.

The results showed that the use of different classroom management styles in all aspects of motor training (cognitive, emotional, physical fitness and skills) is significant. All dimensions of motor training are significantly different from the interventionist style, but not much different from the non-interventionist style. Also, interactive classroom management style can be the most effective classroom management style along with providing a problem solving strategy.

Based on the research findings, problem solving training is a short-term, efficient and harmless strategic problem that can empower students to learn basketball skills by targeting their cognitive abilities.
