The Effect of Using Teaching Package On Learning Front Cartwheel To Students Aged 11 – 12 Years Old

Abstract

The importance of the research lies in using the simplest teaching methods for learning different skills like cartwheel in gymnastics. The problem of the research lies in the difficulty in finding teaching methods that suits the students' age and abilities. The research aimed at designing teaching package for learning cartwheel and hypothesized statistical differences between pre and posttests in both controlling and experimental groups in cartwheel. The researcher used the experimental method and the subjects were (28) students. The data was collected and treated using proper statistical operations. The researchers concluded that the teaching package has positive effect if used correctly and scientifically. Finally they recommended developing teaching package suitable to students' age and applying this package on students of similar age groups.
