Search aim: The effect of a proposed educational program using the active learning method on learning some basic skills in table tennis for first-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education for Boys, Zagazig University. Curriculum used : The researcher used the experimental method, and he used the experimental design with a pre- and post-measurement for two groups, one experimental and the other control, due to its relevance to the nature of the study. Research Sample and Characteristics: The research community is represented by the students of the first year at the Faculty of Physical Education for Boys, Zagazig University for the academic year 2018/2019, who numbered (350) students. (12) students as a sample to conduct the exploratory study, and thus the basic research sample became (28) students who were divided into two groups, the first experimental and the second being a control group, each of them (14) students. The most important results: 1- Using the traditional method "explanation and model" positively contributed to improving the level of performance of the basic skills in table tennis under study for the students of the control group. 2- The use of the active learning method contributed positively to improving the level of performance of the basic skills in table tennis under study for the students of the experimental group. 3- The proposed educational program using the active learning method for the students of the experimental group was more effective in improving the level of performance of basic skills in table tennis than the proposed educational program using the traditional method "explanation and model" for the students of the control group. 4- The experimental group that used the active learning method outperformed the control group that used the traditional method "Explanation and Model" in the level of performance of the basic skills in table tennis in question
