Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of learning approaches based on problem solving, personal-social responsibility, and their combined model on sports commitment and team cohesion of adolescent basketball players.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test, post-test, and control and experimental groups. 80 adolescent female basketball players from Isfahan were selected conveniently and randomly assigned to four groups: problem solving, personal-social responsibility, combined, and control. The research tools included a sports commitment questionnaire and a team cohesion questionnaire. The educational intervention was implemented in three training groups over 12 sessions, and the control group continued its usual training. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and analysis of covariance at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results showed that all three educational approaches caused a significant increase in sports commitment and team cohesion compared to the control group, and the greatest improvement in both variables was observed in the combined group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In general, the results indicate that the use of active approaches, especially the mixed model, can improve the psychological components of adolescents.
