Abstract
The current research aims to investigate the effect of ball games, according to a distributed practice schedule, on developing certain cognitive, coordination, and motor skills among first-year students. It also aims to investigate the effect of ball games, according to an intensive practice schedule, on developing certain cognitive, coordination, and motor skills among first-year students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, College of Basic Education, University of Mosul.
The researchers used the experimental method, as it is suitable for the nature of the research. The research population consisted of first-year students in the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, College of Basic Education, University of Mosul, during the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. The total number of students was 176, distributed across six classrooms (A, B, C, D, E, and F). The number of students in each classroom was 30: A, B, C, D, E, and F; D, E, and D, E, and F, respectively. The research population and sample were deliberately selected because the material is taught to first-year students, and to ensure external safety by avoiding direct exposure to instructors. To determine the three research groups, the researchers conducted a simple random lottery among the three classrooms. Section (B) was the first experimental group, where the distributed practice schedule was implemented. Classroom (A) was the control group, where the instructor's usual teaching method was applied, while Classroom (C) was the second experimental group, where the intensive practice schedule was implemented.
The researchers used the SPSS statistical package to process the data
