“…After emptying the data obtained by the researcher, and verifying the validity of the hypothesis and the goal of the research, the data was analyzed statistically using appropriate statistical methods. Since the value of (sig) was less than the level of significance (0.05), Table (5) clearly shows that there are significant differences between the pre and post-tests in the skills tests under consideration that are in favour of the posttest. Since the value of (sig) was below the level of significance (0.05), which confirms the significant differences in favour of the post-tests, it is clear from Table (6) that there are significant differences between the pre and post-tests in the skills tests under discussion.…”

The research's objectives are to create exercises for single-style and compound formations, as well as to determine how these formations affect some of the offensive skills in basketball for female students and the effects of the exercises created by the researchers on these skills' performance. Due to its applicability to the nature of the investigation, the researchers adopted the experimental method in equal groups (Experimental-control) with a before and post-test. The research group included 42 female students from the University of Karbala's first-stage faculty of physical education and sports sciences for the academic year 2022-2023. The research sample consisted of (15) female students for each of the two groups (Control and experimental), and it was composed of (30) female students and a proportion of the research community (71.428%). The research's experimental setup is displayed in the table below. The educational unit lasts 45 minutes, of which the preparatory section takes up 10 minutes, the main section 30 minutes, the educational activity 5 minutes, and the applied activity 25 minutes (The content of the lesson activity takes up 25 minutes of the 45-minute lesson time in both the individual method and the applied part). Final section: five minutes. The application of the program took a time of (900) minutes, as the preparatory section reached (200) minutes and a percentage of (22.22) of the total time. The main section amounted to (600) minutes and a percentage of (66.66) of the total time, as this section included the educational part that occupied (100) minutes and a percentage of (11.11) of the total time, as this part contained a presentation of some offensive basketball skills that must be developed within the educational program. As for the applied part, it reached (500) minutes, at a rate of (55.55) of the total time. This part included the application of exercises for developing offensive skills in a single or double manner. As for the concluding part of (100) minutes of the total time and a percentage of (11.11) of the total time, Exercises for calming down or increasing the effort were a part of this section. One of the most significant conclusions he came to was that a key factor in raising the suspense was the instructional units in a single style with a complex formation additionally, the pupils' enthusiasm when the subject was being taught.

The research reveals the advantages of using an e-textbook in autonomous learning of the discipline “Foreign Language for Professional Communication (English)” by pre-service teachers of mathematics. The article presents the method of application of the ESP (English for specific purposes) e-textbook “Mathematics”, its structure, and functions. The ESP e-textbook includes learning material of three different levels of language proficiency. Each part contains professional vocabulary and speech situations aimed at forming the necessary skills and abilities in the mathematical field. The authors describe the stages of work with the learning material within a unit of the ESP e-textbook. The necessity of introduction of ESP e-textbooks in the process of learning a foreign language by pre-service teachers of mathematics is justified. The benefits of using the ESP e-textbook by students for autonomous learning are elucidated, and new opportunities for an ESP teacher to structure foreign language classes are outlined in the research. Experimental training with the use of the ESP e-textbook is conducted among pre-service teachers of mathematics at Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University (Ukraine), where the ESP e-textbook is considered as an element of the learning environment for professional creative activity and accumulation of knowledge in the conditions of autonomous learning. The study presents and analyzes the results of students’ English proficiency tests, and the survey on the students’ attitude to the use of ESP e-textbooks in the process of autonomous learning of ESP. The analysis of students’ surveys shows the effectiveness and expediency of using the e-textbook by pre-service teachers of mathematics in autonomous learning of English for professional communication. In the paper, some samples of educational activities from the ESP e-textbook “Mathematics” are presented.
