Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of employing the guided discovery method as the primary approach in teaching certain gymnastics skills, with the sequential method serving as a supportive tool to organize and structure the learning stages. which emphasized the combination of both methods so as to achieve both cognitive and motor objectives for the students. The importance of the current article lies on the emphasizing the duty of guided discovery to develop students’ analytical skills and thinking and motivate the learners to participate actively in the process of learning. Moreover, it contributes to develop motor skill through the structured development which is provided by the successive method which adopts the growth of both cognitive as well as motor abilities. The current research involved 22 college as a samples from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at Al-Qadisiyah University experimental group and a control group. The students with the control may collect instruction by adopting the outmoded method, though the students with the experimental method can follow an instructional program which is planned according to sequential learning and guided discovery. Pre-tests were already done for both groups of students so as to guarantee equality, and then the program was conducted by the experimental group of students over ten educational units. As a conclusion of the present paper, post-tests were managed, and all the datasets were statistically scrutinized so as to achieve dependable findings. This paper lastly came to conclude that the guided method has a significant impact to improve students’ motor acts in gymnastics and stimulate the students’ thinking. Combining the guided discovery with sequential method successfully controlled the students increasingly so as to help combine the skills and accelerate the achievement.
