The effect of multimedia in developing the meaning of translated sports terms into Arabic among students of physical education and sports sciences / University of Babylon

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the effect of multimedia in developing the meaning of translated sports terms into Arabic among students of physical education. To achieve the goal of the research, the researchers set the following hypothesis: There is no statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) between the average scores of the students of the experimental group who studied the effect of multimedia and the average scores of the control group who studied according to the method followed. To verify this, the researchers chose the experimental design with partial control for two groups, one experimental and the other control. The research sample amounted to (97) male and female students, with (49) male and female students to represent the experimental group and (48) male and female students to represent the control group. The researcher made an equivalence between the students of the two groups in the following variables (chronological age and students' grades for the previous year, parents' academic achievement). The researchers identified the topics that would be studied during the experiment period and formulated behavioral objectives for these groups, which were (54) behavioral objectives. The researchers prepared teaching plans for the topics that the two research groups studied during the experiment, which lasted (6) weeks. After the experiment ended, the researcher conducted a written test in developing linguistic wealth. The researchers reached the following result: The students of the experimental group who studied multimedia outperformed the students of the control group who studied according to the followed method.
