Abstract

The current research aimed to identify the effectiveness of a motor task analysis strategy supported by a virtual reality model in learning some basic skills in physical education classes among middle school students. The researchers used the quasi-experimental method with a one-group experimental design by following pre-and post-measurements due to its suitability for the nature of the research. The research population consisted of second-grade students at Al-Nasriya Experimental School, affiliated with the Dokki Educational Administration, totaling 65 students for the academic year 2022/2023. The researchers selected a research sample of 15 students from the second grade at Al-Nasriya Experimental School for the academic year 2023/2024, representing 23.077% of the total population. The researchers also selected a distinctive sample of 15 students participating in track and field competitions from the research community but outside the main research sample. Additionally, the researchers selected an exploratory sample of 15 students from the research community and outside the main research sample to conduct scientific procedures for the "under-research" tests. The researchers excluded students with an absenteeism rate exceeding 20%, totaling 20 students. The most important findings were that the educational program using the motor task analysis strategy supported by the virtual reality model contributed to a noticeable change in improvement rates between pre-and post-measurements for the experimental research group in favor of the post-measurements.
