The Influence of Practicing Sports Games on The Motor Development of Primary School Students

Abstract

Introduced into school physical education lessons, the formative directions and valences of sports games receive the content of instructive-educational and operational objectives, which are then put into practice. The situations that ask children to establish certain relationships with each other and adopt a behavior depending on what others do as either partners or opponents is a social-role game. The research involved 27 students aged 9-10 years old. The experiment was carried out as part of physical education lessons, with third graders participating in two lessons of physical education per week. In the motor tests, the differences between the mean values are relatively large, and these differences are statistically significant, with a generally large t-value and a p-value of less than 0.05 for allindicators. For this reason, it is rightly considered that such games contribute to the practice and development of interpersonal behavior and the individual’s social maturation.
