The purpose of this study was to develop, implement and evaluate a self-evaluation instrument that students would be able to use to assess their metacognitive awareness of volleyball skill and knowledge. The Self Evaluation in Volleyball Questionnaire (SEV) was designed to include a series of self-evaluation items within the five areas identified in a knowledge-based approach to skill acquisition; namely: procedural, declarative, affective, metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive skill. / The reliability, face and content validity of the SEV were found to be very acceptable. The scores on the SEV show that the questionnaire was easily understood by the students, but the students found certain sections were more difficult to answer. Students were categorized by their teacher into top, middle and bottom skill groups. Analysis of variance procedures showed that there were significant differences in SEV scores due to skill level, which demonstrated the value and the sensitivity of the SEV in differentiating such skill levels. Even though this was a descriptive study, it was also shown that the instructional programme did have a positive effect on the students' SEV scores.

It was the purpose of this study to evaluate objectively the method of teaching men’s teams classes in physical education at Stockton College. A well organized instructional schedule consisting of elements from research versus the ‘free play’ method presents the problem in its varying aspects. Both methods have been employed in the classes over a period of years and a committee has been organized to evolve a scientific approach as to content and teaching methods.

Tittle: Sport training youth teams in Volleyball club in Pribram Author: Bc. Natálie Pazderová Department: Department of physical training Supervisor: PaedDr. Ladislav Pokorný, Katedra tělesné výchovy Pedagogické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy v Praze, M. D. Rettigové 4, 116 39 Praha 1 Supervisor's e-mail adress: pok.lad@email.cz Abstract: This diploma thesis deals with the issue of training of youth volleyball in Pribram. The work is dividend into the theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is focused on youth volleyball in general, volleyball youth sports training and the role of the coach himself. The practical part is then focused solely on the interpretation of the results on the basis of a written questionnaire. The questionairre deals with issue concerning training of youth and training practices of volleyball coach. Another research method is a conversation that is focused exclusively on verification questionaire. Keywords: player, youth, coach, training, volleyball, volleyball player

This study investigated the influence of perceptual training on volleyball serve-reception performance. The subjects were ten female high-school volleyball players. Subjects were randomly assigned in equal numbers to a control or an experimental group. Both groups were tested on two occasions, prior to and following a three-week perceptual training intervention. The pre- and post-training testing sessions consisted of a volleyball serve-reception test and a perceptual-motor test that simulated the serve-reception. At the end of the post-training session, a transfer serve-reception test was conducted. The results showed a significant positive relationship between years of experience playing competitive volleyball and performance score obtained in the pre-training serve-reception test. No relationship existed between performance score and starting age. Also, no significant relationships were found between the performance score obtained for the pre-training perceptual-motor test and the amount of competitive playing experience or, starting age. The results of a 2 x 2 (Time x Group) repeated measures MANOVA, incorporating the dependent variables of mean performance score for the serve-reception test and the standard deviation of the movement time elapsed prior to intercepting the ball, indicated that perceptual training was not significantly related to performance on a serve-reception test. Two separate 2 x 2 (Time x Group) repeated measures ANOVAs, analyzing the performance scores obtained for the pre- and post-training perceptual-motor test under two different viewing conditions (long vs. short) did not reveal any differences between the groups for either viewing condition. The transfer serve-reception test also did not reveal any statistically significant differences between the groups. In conclusion, the results indicated that the three-week perceptual training-program used in this study did not lead to significant improvements in volleyball serve-reception performance among adolescent female players. In future research, a motor component should be incorporated in the perceptual training-program to allow for the coupling of perception and action. Alternatively, a perceptual-motor adjustment period could be provided to facilitate the recoupling of perception and action following a perceptual training period. / Graduation date: 1994
