The Effect of Instructional Program on Selected Physical an‎d Skill Variables For Physical Education Students At The Hashemite University

This study aimed at identifying the effect of instructional program on some physical and skill variables forphysical education students at the Hashemite University. The study sample consisted of (20) students thephysical fitness course of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the Hashemite University inacademic year 2011/2012. The sample selected intentionally, and divided into two equal groups: control groupwas taught through the traditional method and experimental group taught through the instructional strategy.Physical and skill tests were carried out to measure the students performance level, through which the pretestand posttest were made. The study concluded that there are statistical significant differences among the variablesbeing tested as result of using instructional strategy on certain physical and skill variables in physical educationlectures in the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the Hashemite University, as compared to thetraditional method, in favor of the instructional strategy. The researchers recommend that there be such needs forusing the instructional strategy in teaching physical education, as well as conducting a broader and similar studywith different variables.
