The effect of circular feedback strategy to acquisition and retention of cognitive achievement in physical exercises

Abstract

The research aims to reveal the effect of both the circular feedback strategy and the method used in acquiring and retaining the cognitive achievement of physical exercises, as well as revealing the differences between the experimental and control groups in acquiring and retaining the cognitive achievement of physical exercises. The researcher used the experimental method, and the research community was represented by third-year students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the College of Basic Education at the University of Mosul for the academic year 2023-2024, numbering (62) male and female students. As for the research sample, it was randomly selected, numbering (40) students, with (20) students in each classroom. The two independent variables were distributed randomly to the two halls. Hall (1) represented the control group, which studied using the method followed by the teacher, while Hall (2) represented the experimental group, which studied using the circular feedback strategy. Homogeneity was achieved between the two groups in the age variable, in addition to achieving equivalence between them in the intelligence variable. The educational units were applied to the two groups, with (8) units for each group and (90) minutes for each educational unit. After completing the implementation of the units on the two research groups, the cognitive achievement test prepared by (Al-Jabouri, 2013) was applied, which the researcher adopted in the current research. Two weeks after the test, the test was repeated on the two research groups to measure the retention rate among the members of the two research groups, and the statistical package (SPSS) was used to reach the research results.
