The research aims at revealing the effect of some methods of teaching (the method of learning by order, cooperative and competitive) in teaching students some of the skills in the Gymnastic and to identify the best method of learning between the groups where the researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of research. The study sample consisted of students of the third stage in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences (70 students),are divided in three groups ,The first group was studied in the order style, the second experimental group was studied in cooperative learning method and the third experimental group studied in a competitive style. Homogeneity and equivalence were performed between group members and skill tests were performed in the Gymnastic (the human wheel - standing on the shoulders - and standing on the head). After the completion of the curriculum, the tests were carried out and the data were collected and analyzed. The results of the study showed that the second and third experimental group surpassed the first experimental group in human wheel skill. The second experimental group has distinguished the members of the group in the skill of standing on the shoulders and standing on the head. The researcher recommended the use of the method of cooperative learning in the teaching of skills in the gymnastic because it is better
