The Effectiveness of a Differentiated Learning Strategy using Flexible Groups to Improve Football Skills and Keep It
Abstract
In this research, it was aimed to determine the effect of the differentiated training strategy on the development of football skills by using flexible grouping in order to develop and make permanent football skills. The research consisted of 147 second grade students of Saif Al-Dawla Junior High School, Al-Karkh, Baghdad Third Education Department. Groups are control group (KG; n:8; Age 22.7±.1.5yeer, height 171±6.8 cm, body weight 65.4±3.3 kg; BMI 22.4±2.7and experimental group (DG; n:12; Age 21.9±.2.1 year, height 170.6±5.4cm, body weight 64.2±5.5 kg; BMI It is divided into two equal groups: 22.7±2.9. Put down, Passing and Rolling tests were applied to the research group at the beginning and end of the study. Tested for differences between groups with unpaired t-tests. Results were considered significant when p<0.05. The research hypothesis assumes that there is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (p<0.01) between the Pre-test and post-test mean score results of the experimental and control groups in favor of the posttest group in terms of football skill development. test. The post-test mean results for the two study groups were statistically significantly different at the significance level (p<0.01) and favored the experimental group. The post-test and post-test (post-test) results for the maintenance range experimental group were statistically significantly different at the significance level (p<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference between the results of the soccer skill posttest and the maintenance test. In conludes; emphasizes that differentiated learning is a promising approach to nurture adaptive behavior and develop basic skills in football players.
