The effect of the practical demonstration strategy to motor coordination and the development of the throw-in and football passing skills for students

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in finding the relationship between motor coordination and free kick performance from a standstill in football. As for the research problem, the usual methods of teaching football constitute a routine method that is often boring for many students. Given that the researcher is a student at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Kufa, and through his experience in learning the effectiveness of football. It was noted that there is a weakness in the level of students’ awareness of this subject, and the use of the practical presentation strategy is appropriate for the topics of learning football skills, especially in the applied aspects, or which may help students in retrieving and memorizing information better. As for the research objectives: identifying the effect of educational supports on motor coordination. In developing the throw-in and football handling skills for students, As for the research methodology, the researcher used the experimental method due to its suitability to the nature of the research problem and by designing equal experimental and control groups, with the same pre-test. The research population was limited to third-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Kufa, for the academic year 2023/2024, who numbered (42). Student, the research sample was selected by a simple random method, and its number reached (22) students who were divided by lottery into two groups (11) students for each group. The most important recommendations are activating the use of educational pillars in teaching educational curricula in the academic stages to develop students’ skills.
