Abstract

The research aims to develop a motor education program and its impact on the development of certain healthy behaviors in preschool children. The researcher used the experimental method, employing both the experimental group and the control group with a pre-test and post-test design, given its suitability to the nature of the research. The experimental sample consisted of 80 children from the second stage of kindergarten at Al-Nasiriya School under the administration of West Sanbalawin for the academic year 2023/2024. The sample was selected using intentional random sampling. The proposed program was implemented over a period of six weeks. One of the main hypotheses was that there would be statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test in the development of healthy behaviors in preschool children, in favor of the experimental group. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the mean post-test scores in the level of improvement in healthy behaviors, favoring the experimental group. The researcher used a questionnaire designed by herself to measure healthy behavior, and the proposed program as study tools. The results revealed the positive impact of the program on the healthy behaviors of preschool children.
