The effect of the (4EX2) model on learning some basic football skills and developing interactive thinking

Abstract

The research aims to reveal the effect of the (4EX2) model in learning some basic football skills and developing students’ interactive thinking.The researchers assumed that there is no statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group that studied according to the (4EX2) model and the control group in learning some basic football skills and developing interactive thinking. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the problem. The study sample included (32) third-year intermediate students at Baghdida Intermediate School for Boys / Al-Hamdaniyah District / Nineveh for the academic year (2022-2023). They were distributed into two homogeneous groups in variables (1. age and height. 2. mass. 3. and some elements of physical fitness) Each group consisted of (16) students. The experimental group studied according to the (4EX2) model, and the control group studied using the teaching method followed (the traditional method). Then the two researchers prepared teaching plans according to the (4EX2) model, and adopted the scale (Khudair, 2020) to measure interactive thinking. Then, they began implementing the research experiment on 11/5. /2022 and ended on 12/11/2022, which lasted five weeks and consisted of (3) educational units for each of the skills under study. At the end of the experiment, the researchers conducted post-tests on the two research groups and then analyzed the results statistically using a t-test for equal independent samples. The researchers reached a set of results, the most important of which is: Teaching according to the (4EX2) model was better than the traditional method in teaching some football skills and developing them. Interactive thinking for students. The researchers recommended emphasizing the use of the (4EX2) model in teaching football at the secondary level
