The effectiveness of digital feedback in teaching freestyle swimming to beginners aged (9-12) years
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of digital feedback in learning freestyle swimming for beginners aged 9–12 years. The researchers employed the experimental method with a pretest-posttest design of two equivalent groups, as it suited the nature and objectives of the study. The research sample was randomly selected from beginner learners aged 9–12 years participating in swimming courses at Dolphin Academy in the center of Babylon Governorate, consisting of 26 beginners. The researchers concluded that digital feedback played a significant and effective role in learning freestyle swimming for beginners aged 9–12 years. They recommended emphasizing the application of digital feedback in teaching units for freestyle swimming for beginners in this age group.
