Abstract

This study focused on the utilization of the Wheel of Skills as an intervention tool in enhancing basketball skills among second-year Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd) students. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Wheel of Skills as an instructional tool in enhancing the basketball skills of second-year Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd) students at Bestlink College of the Philippines. The primary purpose was to determine whether the Wheel of Skills could improve fundamental competencies in dribbling, passing, and shooting, and provide students with a more interactive and engaging learning experience compared to traditional methods. A quantitative research design was employed using a pretest and posttest experimental approach. A total of 88 randomly selected second-year BPEd students participated in the study. The experimental group utilized the Wheel of Skills, while the control group engaged in conventional drills. Data were gathered through researcher-made questionnaires and performance tests, and were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. For students using the Wheel of Skills, the composite mean increased from 11.34 (“proficient”) on the pretest to 16.90 (“highly proficient”) on the posttest. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a significant difference (W = 0, p < 0.05). Perception ratings were 3.25 (“agree”) for execution, 3.40 (“strongly agree”) for instruction, and 3.52 (“strongly agree”) for guidelines. Although the Methods section describes a control group, no control-group outcomes are reported. The intervention-group improvement and favorable perceptions suggest that the Wheel of Skills supported basketball practice and engagement. Teachers and coaches may use it to create varied and structured drills. Complete control-group results and an appropriate between-group comparison are needed before concluding that it is more effective than conventional instruction.
