The effect of the wave detection method in learning motivation and performance of some futsal skills

Abstract

Paying attention to the educational process and improving it and its methods has become the main concern of educational institutions and many researchers in order to facilitate the process of providing information to the learner, which helps improve the level of the learner’s skill performance. The research aimed to reveal the effect of using the wave discovery method in stimulating learning motivation and performing some futsal skills by students learning in the sixth grade of primary school. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research problem. The research community included sixth grade primary school students from Al-Warka Girls School. Rusafa Third Education, Baghdad, for the academic year 2022/2023. There are (38) female students distributed into two divisions (A-B), with (19) female students for each division. (8) female students were excluded, of whom (6) female students were used to represent the sample of exploratory experiments, and (2) A female student for the purposes of homogeneity and parity. Therefore, the total number became (30) female students and this was done randomly using a lottery method. The research sample was distributed into two experimental groups, which took the teaching method (wave discovery method). The control group used the regular curriculum, while the experimental group used the curriculum prepared by the researcher. Conducting equivalence operations and pre-tests, the prepared curriculum was applied, post-tests were conducted, and appropriate statistical methods were used in order to reach the results through which the research objectives were achieved. The results were then presented, analyzed and discussed, and the researcher reached a set of conclusions, the most important of which was the superiority of the group that used the guided discovery method in learning motivation in the skill outcome of the skills of handling, rolling, and putting down the futsal ball. The researcher recommended the necessity of using the guided discovery method in the process of learning motor skills because it has a significant impact on the students’ learning level.
