The primary objective of this study was to identify the effectiveness of the Think–Pair–Share strategy in volleyball, particularly with regard to the two skills under investigation. The study was conducted on a sample of female students from the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences for Women, University of Baghdad. Concerning the methodology, the researchers adopted an experimental approach. The research population consisted of 93 female students distributed across five sections, and the study sample comprised 40 students selected randomly. Of these, 20 students were assigned to the experimental group and 20 to the control group, representing 43% of the original population. The instructional units continued for two months. The researchers employed skill-based tests specifically designed for the two skills examined in the study. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher level of performance in the post-tests of the first skill, with a mean score of 7.25 compared with 5.30 for the control group, yielding a difference of 1.95 points, a t-value of 7.462, and a significance level of 0.000. As for the second skill, the mean score of the experimental group was 7.95 compared with 5.50 for the control group, resulting in a difference of 2.45 points, a t-value of 9.759, and a significance level of 0.000. The most important conclusions and recommendations indicated that the application of the Think–Pair–Share strategy was appropriate for the students in the sample and contributed to improving their performance in the two skills under study. The students who learned through this strategy outperformed those who learned without it. Accordingly, the researchers recommended the use of this strategy in learning other skills and the organization of training courses for teachers to promote its use, and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
