The researcher hypothesized the existence of statistically significant differences between the results of the pre- and post-tests in the study's variables. The researcher utilized the experimental approach, designing two equivalent groups (control and experimental) with pre- and post-tests. The main research experiment was implemented from Wednesday (29/10/2025) until Wednesday (10/12/2025) on the research sample. The implementation of the main experiment took 7 weeks, at a rate of one educational unit per week, equating to 7 educational units. The researcher was keen on applying the elements of the hexagonal thinking strategy in both the educational and applied aspects. After collecting, tabulating, and statistically processing the data, the researcher concluded that the hexagonal thinking strategy proved its effectiveness as an innovative educational approach in teaching tennis. It achieved superior results compared to the traditional method across all the investigated variables, and it contributed to creating an interactive and cooperative environment that helped satisfy the psychological and skill-related needs of the students.
