This study aims to identify the differences between the pre-test and post-test results for both experimental groups in acquiring some basic table tennis skills, and to identify the differences between the two experimental groups in the post-tests in acquiring some basic table tennis skills. The researcher adopted the experimental method as it is suitable for the nature of the problem under study. The research population was purposefully defined as third-year students in the Faculties of Physical Education and Sports Science at Koya University. The research sample was selected by random assignment (by lottery), where section (A) was chosen to represent the first experimental group and section (B) to represent the second experimental group, totaling (37) students. After applying the Learning and Thinking Styles Scale, the sample was classified into three styles: the left-handed style (14 students), the right-handed style (13 students), and the integrated style (10 students). In order to achieve equivalence between the two groups, the students with the integrated style were excluded. Then, the individuals were randomly redistributed to form the main experimental sample with (10) students in each group, bringing the total number to (20) students. This represents 54.054% of the original research population, after excluding 17 students to control for extraneous variables and minimize their impact on the study results. Regarding statistical analysis, the researcher used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze the data and obtain accurate and reliable results. Based on the study's findings, the researcher reached the following key conclusions: The right-brain hemisphere-based educational approach, utilizing educational tools, resulted in a significant improvement in the acquisition of basic table tennis skills among learners. Similarly, the left-brain hemisphere-based educational approach, also utilizing educational tools, contributed to the acquisition of basic table tennis skills among learners.
