Studies and educational experience have proven that a successful teacher is one who chooses the most suitable teaching methods, selecting those that best suit their students to ensure the educational process proceeds as planned. This involves considering the subject matter, the student's learning style, and the overall teaching environment within the lecture. One such method is the guided discovery approach, a modern method that has played a significant role in directing teaching towards innovation and creativity, fostering positive thinking, and teaching basic volleyball skills to female students. This study aims to identify the impact of the guided discovery approach on developing positive thinking and teaching some basic volleyball skills to second-year female students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Ahlulbayt University. The researcher hypothesized that both guided discovery and guided discovery approaches have a positive impact on developing positive thinking and teaching basic volleyball skills to female students, and that the guided discovery approach is more effective in this regard. The researcher employed the experimental method with equivalent groups, as it aligns with the nature of the research problem. The study population consisted of 63 second-year female students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Ahlulbayt University during the 2025-2026 academic year. The research sample comprised 60 students, all of whom participated in developing the Positive Thinking Scale. The educational curriculum consisted of 16 learning units, each taught using a specific method, with two units per week. Each learning unit lasted 90 minutes. Pre- and post-tests were conducted for the students on the volleyball court and in the classrooms of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Ahlulbayt University. The most important conclusions are: the guided discovery method has a significant impact on developing positive thinking and teaching some basic volleyball skills to the students. The method also has the same effect on developing positive thinking and teaching some basic volleyball skills to the students. One of the most important recommendations is to utilize the guided discovery method in developing positive thinking and teaching some basic volleyball skills to the students.
