THE EFFECT OF MOBİLE LEARNİNG ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF BASİC BASKETBALL SKİLLS
Aim: This study was conducted to determine whether the software developed by
researchers for mobile devices with android operating system had an effect on the
basic skills of basketball by using mobile learning (M- learning) method.

Method: The research is an experimental study and pre-test post-test model with
control and experiment group forms the model of the research. Data were collected
from 48 students including 23 controls and 25 participants for experiment
performed basic basketball skills training in Giresun University Sports Club. For
the experiment group, "Basketball Basic Skills Mobile Application Software"
developed by researchers with "MIT App Inventor program" was used. In addition,
in order to measure the level of access to psycho-motor skills related to basketball
basic movements, the data obtained by "Basketball Observation Forms" were
transferred to electronic medium and analysed in SPSS 25.0 statistical package
program. “Mann Whitney U” test was used for two group comparison and relations
were determined by the “Spearman’s rank order correlation” analyses.
Results: At the beginning, the fundamental skills of boys and girls are at the lowest
level in terms of total skill score consisting of basic stance, ball holding, dribbling,
pivot movement, passing and shooting. In males and females, the total skill score of
the mobile + classical learning group was statistically higher 26.3% in boys and
30.55% in girls than the classical learning group (p<.01). The effect of mobile
learning on girls is greater than that of boys.
Conclusion: In both boys and girls, mobile + classical learning was more effective
than classical learning group.
Keywords: Basketball fundamental skills, mobile learning.
