Investigation of the Effect of Tactical Game Model Approach on Attention, Multiple Intelligence Development and Some Anthropometric Characteristics in Students

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of the tactical game approach model on the attention, multiple intelligences development, and certain anthropometric characteristics of middle school students. The study involved 40 voluntary students, with 20 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group, aged between 12-13 years old. The participants were administered a "Personal Information Form," the "d2 Attention Test," and the "Multiple Intelligence Assessment Scale," while anthrop metric measurementswere taken using the "In body 120" device. Analyses conducted in the SPSS 22 program,with a significance level of p<0.005, revealed significant diffrences in attention levels infavor of the experimental group (p<0.005). When examining the multiple intelligence subdimensions between the experimental and control groups, no noteworthy differences were found in visual, musical, naturalistic, and intrapersonal intelligence pre-test to post-test. Nonetheless, a significant difference in favor of the experimental group was found in verbal, logical, bodily, and social intelligence pre-test to post-test (p<0.005). No statistically noteworthy differences were found in anthropometric measurements between the groups. As a consequence, a planned sports teaching model was determined to improve attention levels and promote multiple intelligence development, emphasizing the significance of learning among students engaged in sports.
