Abstract

The study aimed to prepare educational exercises using the HomeCourt application to learn the skills of dribbling and shooting in basketball and to examine the effect of exercises designed according to the HomeCourt application on learning these skills. The researcher employed the experimental method due to its suitability for the nature of the research, using one of its fundamental designs known as the "equivalent groups design with pre-test and post-test."  The research population included first-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Qasim Green University, totaling 180 students. The researcher distributed the research sample into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 30 students and a control group consisting of 30 students. The researcher processed the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25. In light of the results obtained and subsequent interpretations, the researcher can draw several conclusions. The exercises designed according to the HomeCourt application are highly effective in learning the skills of dribbling and smooth shooting in basketball. The experimental group showed significant improvement compared to the control group, which relied on traditional exercises. Additionally, the use of interactive applications enhanced by artificial intelligence provides a stimulating learning environment rich in feedback, contributing to accelerating the acquisition of motor skills among first-year students in physical education colleges. Furthermore, the pre-tests and post-tests revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group, confirming that the use of modern technology in sports education is no longer optional. It has become an effective and essential tool in improving performance, and integrating technology into training units increases students' motivation to learn and compete, as well as their desire to perform a greater number of repetitions.
