Abstract
Abstract The researchers assume that there are significant statistical differences in teaching some basic skills in basketball between the two experimental groups in the posttests in favor of guided discovery group. The experimental method is used to suit the study problem. The study community consisted of thirty-eight female students of the first grade of the College of Physical Education, University Thi-Qar for the academic year 2014-2015 distributed on two sections of nineteen students each after excluding eight female students: six of them are used in the pilot experiments and two are excluded for equalizing the samples. The total number of students became thirty females that represent 78% of the grand total. The study samples were randomly distributed on two experimental groups of fifteen students each. The first group is A which follows the guided discovery method while the second group B uses learning objectives method. The researchers also discussed the means and devices used as well as the procedures that include choosing the suitable tests for basic skills in basketball, pilot tests, posttests, educational methods of guided discovery and learning objectives, then, posttests and statistical procedures. The results proved that the firs group which used guided discovery proceeded the second group which used learning objective methods in the posttest of some basic skills in basketball.
