The effect of the realistic teaching model on kinetic perception and learning some skills among second-year middle school students in football

Objective: To develop educational units based on the realistic teaching model, identify the effect of the realistic teaching model on kinetic perception and the learning of some skills among second-grade middle school students, and identify the strengths of the experimental and control groups in kinetic perception and the learning of some skills among second-grade middle school students. Research methodology: The researchers relied on the experimental method because it is appropriate for the nature of the study's problem and objectives. The experimental method is one of the best scientific research methods for solving problems in a practical way. It relies on objective observation of a specific phenomenon occurring in an environment characterized by precise control over one or more variables, while keeping other variables constant. The researchers deliberately identified the study population using the purposive approach. The sample consisted of second-year secondary school students at Al-Futuwa Intermediate School for Boys, affiliated with the Karkh Education Directorate/Third Secondary School/Baghdad, for the 2024-2025 academic year, with 85 male and female students distributed across three classes Result: Researchers have found that the authentic teaching model enhances learners' ability to adapt to different learning styles and variables. In today's rapidly changing world, individuals must be able to adapt to new situations and unexpected challenges. Conclusions: The realistic teaching model contributed to enhancing learners' confidence and ability to control the learning process, and the realistic teaching model provides students with opportunities to continuously evaluate themselves throughout the learning process, helping them identify and correct errors, thus improving their skills and overall progress.
