Effect of using dry firing with air pistol: educational program

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of using a dry shooting educational curriculum in learning the skill of throwing with the effectiveness of the air pistol. The researcher utilized the experimental method due to its suitability and the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of twelve (12) young players, divided into six (6) individuals for each of the experimental and control groups. The experimental group employed the academic method of dry shooting , while the control group used the educational method .

Following the pre-test, the sample continued to implement the curriculum units, which lasted four weeks and were divided into four weekly units, each lasting 90 minutes. After completing the instructional units, the researcher conducted a post-test and extracted the data, which was statistically processed, then presented, analyze, and discussed.

The researcher came to the conclusion that there were significant differences in the results of the two tests (pre and post) for the two groups, as well as differences in the post test results in favor of the experimental group. In light of the findings, the researchers recommended that scientific teaching approach must be adopted and dry shooting should be used in learning the skill of air pistol shooting.
