Abstract

The study's goal is to determine how well 16–17-year-old middle school students learn rolling and handling abilities when taught utilising a mind map-based instructional strategy based on the Zahoric model. An experimental strategy was employed by the researcher. One hundred and twenty-two male students from Al-Jawahiri Preparatory School for Boys made up the study's community. A total of thirty students from the experimental group and thirty students from the control group made up the research sample, which was chosen using a basic random method (lottery). The exploratory experiment's sample size was fifteen students, with eighteen individuals left out of the research group. Over the course of eight weeks, participants met twice a week on Sundays and Tuesdays for instruction. Researchers found that middle school students (aged 16–17) benefited greatly from employing the Zahorek model, which makes use of mind maps, to acquire the abilities of rolling and handling throughout the 45-minute session. The researcher suggests expanding the current study to include more mathematical abilities and a wider range of ages and academic levels.
