Abstract

Purpose: In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the evolution of physical education teaching from a traditional teacher-centered approach to a student-centered approach. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Constraint-led and game sense approaches on visual search in girls aged 10-11 years old using native-local games.
Methods This research was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test that was performed in the field. Fifty-five girl students (aged 10-11 years) were randomly divided into two groups: hybrid Constraint-led/game sense and traditional. Subjects practiced for 12 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 1 hour per session according to the educational approach of their group. Caglab software was used to evaluate visual search.
Results: The results of Mixed ANOVA showed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the hybrid group. It can be said that 90% of the changes in children's visual search were influenced by their education based on the hybrid approach. While in traditional education, no significant effect was observed in the relevant variable.
Conclusion: It is important for schools' teachers to support students in effectively implementing hybrid approaches in the school environment. Opportunities should be provided to enable students to develop their conceptual understanding of constraint-led and game sense teaching based on a nonlinear approach.
