Intelligence - Bodily-Kinesthetic and its Relationship to Football shooting Accuracy for Students

Abstract

The research aims to identify the level of bodily-motor intelligence of players and to identify the relationship between bodily-motor intelligence and scoring accuracy for students of the College of Physical Education - Basic - University of Diyala. The researcher used the descriptive approach with correlational relationships because it is suitable for the nature of the research and its sample. Accordingly, the research community was determined intentionally, and they are the students of the Department of Physical Education - Diyala Basic School, numbering (100) students. The researcher used the bodily-kinetic intelligence scale, which contains a form with phrases that the students answer. After the students finish answering, these forms are withdrawn and the players score on goal. The performance of each player is evaluated through the research sample and appropriate grades are given to them. The ready statistical package (SPSS) was used by means of the statistical analysis program, and the researcher concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation between bodily-motor intelligence and scoring accuracy in performance, and the researcher reached a positive correlation between the bodily-motor intelligence scale and scoring accuracy. The researcher recommends that the focus be on the psychological aspect due to its impact on all types of sports activities, and to work on developing their bodily-motor intelligence by involving them in various sports activities, educational and training courses, and competitive competitions.
