Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of traditional instruction (TI), computer - assisted instruction (CAI) and mixed instruction (MI) methods on learning the skill of shooting in basketball. The participants were 48 middle school students of seventh and eighth grade, aged 12-14 years old, who were randomly assigned into three teaching method groups: TI, CAI and MI. Each group received ten 45min periods of instruction. A 10-item multiple-choice knowledge test and a skill test were utilised to measure learning. The result indicated: a) all the instructional groups performed similarly with significant learning from pre-test to post-test, b) there were no significant differences between the groups concerning the knowledge and skill test, c) the mixed method as a teaching aid tended to be the most effective for cognitive learning and skill development. However, no significant differences were indicated between methods of instruction on this particular shooting ability.
