Effect of Generative Learning Strategy with Visual Technologies in Learning Some Basic Skills and Motor Abilities for 5-6-Years Kindergarten Children

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of generative learning strategy with visual technology in learning some basic skills and motor abilities for 5-6-years kindergarten children. A two groups experimental design was used to guide this study. The study included male children who age 5-6-years who were selected from the Lote Tree Kindergarten at Al-Rusafa side, Baghdad City for the academic years 2017-2018. The study included 24 children who were selected and assigned into two groups; study and control, using a simple random sample method. The study sample represented 40% of the target population. The researcher selected the skills of jogging, jumping, and the abilities of mobile balance, and the eye-hand compatibility as dependent variables. The generative learning strategy with visual technology in learning were applied to the children of the experimental group for 12-weeks of the second semester of the academic year 2017-2018, at a rate of two sessions per week on Sunday and Thursday. The total number of learning sessions was 24 sessions.Data were analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS).The researcher concludes that the generative learning strategy with visual technology in learning has proven to be effective in learning jogging and jumping skills and learning the ability of mobile balance and eye-hand compatibility for study subjects
