Abstract

The study sought to examine the effectiveness of Marzano’s Dimensions of Learning model in enhancing complex skill performance (receiving, dribbling, and shooting) as well as improving quick decision-making under pressure in basketball among students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Babylon. The researcher adopted an experimental approach using a pre-test–post-test design with experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 60 students selected from a population of 148.The results showed a significant superiority for the experimental group in all variables, with high rates of improvement compared to the control group. The effect size values also showed a significant effect of the Marzano model on the development of skill performance and decision-making, supported by the results of the associated variance analysis that confirmed the strength of the effect of the educational program. These results are attributed to the model's reliance on multidimensional learning, which integrates knowledge and application in real-world play situations, contributing to the development of motor skills and mental processes associated with decision-making under pressure.
