The effect of an educational curriculum using the Let's Play Together style in developing some physical and motor abilities of slow learners at the age of 10 years

Abstract

The slow learning category has a special view towards the life they live, towards themselves, and towards the society in which they live. The services and support provided to them, whether provided by family, relatives, friends, community rehabilitation institutions, and other sources of support, are considered as the quality of life that every child aspires to. Using a way to play together can contribute, even in a small part, to helping this special group by preparing a motor games program to develop some physical and motor abilities, as these skills are the basic basis for motor practices.

Here, the importance of the research was evident in the need to pay attention to slow learners by preparing a program for motor games in a way to play together to develop some physical and motor abilities.

The research problem lies in the necessity of integrating the students slowly with the normal students in the primary stage through a method of playing together, which helps in developing their relationship with friends inside and outside the school, and contributes to the development of their psychological, social and athletic abilities. The researcher used the experimental method with two groups, and the research sample consisted of 20 students who were slow learners. The researcher used many tests for motor and physical abilities.

The researcher concluded the following:

1. 1. The validity of the proposed educational curriculum using motor games in a way to play together, which was characterized by the nature of pleasure and competition in improving physical and motor qualities and basic skills.
2. 2. The kinetic games programs using the Let's Play Together method and the traditional physical education lesson achieved a development in the physical and motor abilities of slow learners in the pre and post tests
