The effect of 8-week educational games applied to 10-12 years old students on motoric features

The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of 8-week educational games applied tostudents aged 10-12 on motoric characteristics.A total of 50 students participated in thestudy, 25 of whom were in the experimental group and 25 in the control group, studying atBarıştepeSecondarySchoolinMardinMidyatin2022-2023.Educationalgameswereplayedfor 8 weeks, 3 days a week for the experimental group, while it was tried to ensure that thecontrolgroupdidnotparticipateinanyphysicalactivity.Inthestudy,students'height,weight,stroke length, sit and reach, vertical jump, medicine ball throwing, 20 m speed, right and lefthand grip, reaction test measurements were made.SPSS 25.0 program was used in theanalysisofthedatacollectedwithinthescopeoftheresearch.Inthestudy,pre-testand post-testvalueswerecomparedwithinandbetweengroups.Thestatisticalsignificancelevelwas determined as p<0.05 and the data were interpreted by examining the effect size.In theresearch, when the pre-test and post-test values are examined, height, stroke length, sitreach, vertical jump, medicine ball throwing, 20 m speed, right and left hand grip, reflexnumber, reflex average time, find green number, be careful number,be careful with theaverage time, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in themeantimeparameters.(p<0.05).Nostatisticallysignificantdifferencewasfoundinthe in-group comparison of both groups to find the green mean time and weight parameters(p>0.05).Height(pretest-posttest),weight(pretest-posttest),strokelength(pretest-posttest),sitandliedown(pretest-posttest),verticaljump(pretest),throwingmedicineball(pretest-posttest)test),20msprint(pretest),numberofreflexes(pretest),reflexmeantime(pretest-posttest),findingthegreennumber(pretest),timetofindthegreenmean(pretest-posttest), Be careful number (pretest), be careful with the mean time (pretest)parameters did not show a significant difference when compared between groups(p>0.05).Vertical jump (post test), throwing medicine ball (post test), 20 m sprint (post test),rightandlefthandgrip(pretest-posttest),reflexnumber(posttest),findgreennumber(posttest) , be careful number (post test), be careful mean time (post test) parameters, astatistically significant difference was found in the comparison between groups (p<0.05). That the educational games application contributed to the differences in favorof the experimental group in the 10-12 age group.It was observed that the educationalgamesapplicationcontributedtothedifferencesinfavoroftheexperimentalgroupinthe 10-12agegroup.
