Resumo:When making decisions in basketball, it is necessary for the player to perceive the most important environmental stimuli through selective perception. However, most research that seeks to improve player performance does not take this into account. The purpose of this study was to test whether one can improve the selective perception skills of basketball players by way of a methodology based on constructivist teaching aimed at improving the players selective perception. The study evaluated an amateur team of 10 basketball players with an average age of 21 years through the course of a typical basketball season (7 months). This was a quasi-experimental case study (n=1) without a control group. In order to evaluate the players’ attention skills, a test was designed and validated before its use based on video footage of games. The player was asked to describe a specific moment from the game which would later be compared with the video record of what really occurred. The results showed that after participating improve their ability to perceive and act upon the most important stimuli in any given situation by 89.5% on defence and 25.5% on offense. The differences between their pre-test and post-test scores were significantly different
