Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This study aimed to enhance the gameplay and tactical skills of 29 Grade 11 students in volleyball using a validated Volleyball Skill Illustration Technique (SkIT) as the primary instructional tool. The research was carried out on a small group of students and requires validation on larger samples. Conducted at MMSU-Laboratory High School, Laoag Campus during the fourth quarter of SY 2022–2023, the study utilized a proficiency scale to assess student performance before and after the intervention, with categories ranging from "Beginning" to "Advanced." Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, specifically the weighted mean and t-test of difference. Results showed a significant improvement in performance, with the pre-demonstration mean score of 20.67 (Developing) rising to 34.75 (Proficient) post-demonstration, reflecting a mean difference of 14.08. This substantial increase indicates that the SkIT had a strong positive effect on students’ understanding and application of volleyball strategies. The findings suggest that incorporating a structured playbook into physical education can effectively improve students’ tactical and gameplay skills. This study offers a validated method that can be integrated into modern teaching of physical education.
