T The effect of a training field with small, group-suggested games on the performance of some basic movements for kindergarten children aged (5-6) years.

Abstract

In the first chapter, the researcher addressed the research problem, as all kindergartens in Iraq depend on the Integrated Experience Unit approach, which is a simple approach in its content, as it does not give importance to basic movements and social behaviour. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the games the child will play in these centres in a way compatible with development. What is happening in society, so the researcher decided to prepare a training field with small individual and group games that work to develop the performance of some basic movements and social behaviour, as this stage is considered the first building block or the basis on which the child relies in accomplishing the tasks or needs that help him in his daily life, and the second chapter includes theoretical studies. Concerning the variables studied during the research, as for the research methodology, the researcher adopted the experimental method with two equal groups (with a pre-and post-test), as the research community was divided into an experimental group for group games, numbering (20) children, and a control group, numbering (20) children. The field research procedures included Determining the tests used in the research, which are represented in some of the basic movements of children (running, throwing, kicking, jumping ). Thus, the researcher designed a training field containing individual and group games for kindergarten children to develop basic movements. The researcher also conducted a pre-test for the research sample in  Al-Zaytoun Kindergarten Hall and Algeria. After the researcher conducted tribal tests and recorded them videotaped, the results were presented to a group of evaluators at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences / Al-Qadisiyah University to assist them in evaluating the performance of basic movements according to the evaluation of each of the basic movements by three evaluators and the child was given three attempts. The score for each test was extracted by taking the best attempt for each movement, after completing the evaluation process carried out by the experts and specialists, and after completing the application of the training field on the research sample, where the work included (8) weeks, with two training units per week on Sunday and Wednesday. Each training unit was repeated in the following week. Group games were implemented on (22/10/2023) under an appropriate time and place limit to identify the development of children in some basic movements and social behaviour, and it ended on (22/12/2023). Conducting intermediate tests after completing each special movement in the basic movements. The fourth chapter included presenting the results of the pre-and post-tests of the basic movements, analyzing them, and discussing them for the experimental group for group games, as these results showed that there is a noticeable development in the motor performance of all movements and the researcher attributes the reason for  This development resulted in the training field containing a group of games. The researcher concluded that the training field for group games helped increase the children’s ability through better coordination of motor performance, as it enhanced their ability to perform various basic movements.
