| Abstract | ||||
| The current research aims to identify the effects of an educational program on breaching the learning plateau for learning the three-point-shot for junior basketball players. The researcher used the experimental (one-group) design with pre- and post-measurements of the preferred and non-preferred arms. The researcher purposefully chose (15) junior basketball players (14-16 years) from Tanta Sports Club who were registered for the 2014-2015 season. Another (10) players from Saigar Sports Club were chosen as a pilot sample. Results indicated that there are statistically significant differences on p≤0.05 with effect size between (5.55) and (7.24) between the pre- and post-measurements of the technical test for the preferred arm in favor of the post-measurements. There are statistically significant differences on p≤0.05 with effect size between (4.12) and (5.88) between the pre- and post-measurements of the technical test for the non-preferred arm in favor of the post-measurements. There are statistically significant differences on p≤0.05 with effect size between (0.96) and (2.10) between the post-measurements of the technical test for the preferred and non-preferred arms in favor of the preferred arm. The recommended program for breaching the learning plateau had positive effects on the performance level of the three-point shot with the preferred arm. | ||||
