Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of a proposed educational program using the learning strategy to guide pairing in teaching some of the gymnastics skills, and to achieve the goals of the study, the researchers used the experimental approach, and the study sample consisted of (34) students from the gymnastics course (1) from the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Mu'tah University For the first semester of the academic year (2019/2020), they were divided into two equal experimental and control groups.

The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences between pre-measurement and post-measurement and in favor of post-measurement on learning basic skills in gymnastics and in favor of the experimental group that used the peer-directed learning strategy as it positively affected the learning process in addition to developing enthusiasm among students towards learning The study recommended using the learning strategy By directing peers on the rest of the gymnastics skills, especially those of hardware and other sports skills.
