The effect of mental skill exercises using smart devices on developing students' dribbling and scoring skills in football.

Abstract

         Today, the world is witnessing a remarkable development in the field of artificial intelligence, as it has proven to be of great importance in solving many problems through the use of many modern smart devices in all areas of life, including the educational and sports fields. Therefore, it is necessary to benefit from this role that artificial intelligence plays and employ it through… The use of devices and tools in solving many educational and mathematical problems, and we, in our role as researchers, must shed light on the problems that learners suffer from, as the research problem revolved around the fact that most learners suffer from developing the performance of dribbling and scoring skills in football, despite the efforts made in the field of education, development or sports training by teachers, coaches and specialists in the game of football, in addition to the various studies provided by researchers that have helped in developing a clear Despite all these efforts, there are still problems facing teachers and coaches in teaching and developing football skills, especially dribbling and scoring. Therefore, the two researchers decided to study this problem by trying to apply mental skill exercises and using smart devices (data show, computer, and smart board), which contribute to the development of football skills. Performing the skills of dribbling and scoring in soccer. The objectives of the research are to prepare mental skill exercises using smart devices to learn to perform the skills of dribbling and scoring in soccer for students, and to identify the effect of mental skill exercises using smart devices in learning to perform the skills of dribbling and scoring in soccer for students. The researchers used the experimental approach by designing (Two equal groups with pre- and post-tests) in order to suit the nature of the problem and achieve the objectives of the research. The research community was represented by students from Al-Farazdaq Secondary School for Boys, for the year (2023-2024), who numbered (88) students. The main research sample was chosen randomly by lottery method by (30) students (8) Students for the pilot study and the rest and will be divided into two groups, control and experimental, equally, meaning each group includes (11) students. The researchers conducted the pre-tests on 10/22/2023 on the school courtyard, and the curriculum began on 10/29/2023 AD and ended on 12/10/2023 AD. It included units interspersed with mental skill exercises for the studied skill, and the researchers conducted post-tests for the research sample on 12/20/2023 on the school courtyard, and the most important conclusions were that mental skill exercises have a positive impact in developing the students’ dribbling and scoring skills in soccer, as well as presenting mental skill exercises. The smart devices used helped develop the students’ dribbling and scoring skills in football, and the members of the experimental group outperformed the members of the control group in both tests. The researchers recommended the necessity of using mental skill exercises in teaching and developing the students’ dribbling and scoring skills because they demonstrate the correct image in which football skills are performed. Football, and emphasis on the use of smart devices for their major role in clarifying the optimal performance of football skills.
