Abstract
The effect of exploratory and movement games in reducing hyperactivity and developing some basic motor skills among third-grade primary school studentsThe research aimed to identify the effect of both motor games and exploratory games in reducing hyperactivity and developing some basic motor skills among third-grade primary school students. The researcher used the experimental method to suit the nature of the research. The research sample consisted of (40) students who were randomly divided( into two experimental groups. By lottery, with (20) students for each group, Section A applied exploratory games as the first experimental group, while Section B applied movement games as the second experimental group, Parity was achieved between the two groups in the variables (age, weight, and height), in addition to achieving parity between them in the dependent research variables (under study). The implementation of the experiment took six weeks, with two educational plans per week for each group, which numbered (12) educational plans. The time of one educational plan is (40) minutes, and the experiment began on Sunday, 10/23/2022, until Wednesday, 11/30/2022.The researcher used the following statistical methods: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, simple correlation coefficient (Pearson), t-test for two uncorrelated means and two equal samples, percentage, mode, correlation coefficient, and hypothesized mean.After analyzing the data statistically, the researcher reached the following conclusions:- B- Exploratory games are better compared to motor games in terms of their effect in reducing hyperactivity among students.
