Constructing Skilful Cognition Test for Some Gymnastic Devices for the Students of College of Physical Education / Mosul University

Abstract

The research aims at :-Constructing skilful cognition test for some gymnastic devices for the 2nd year students of college of physical education / Mosul university.-Evaluating the skilful cognition level for some gymnastic devices for the 2nd year students of college of physical education / Mosul university.-Setting standard levels for the research sample of testing skilful cognition for some gymnastic devices.The researcher has adopted the descriptive methodology with survey style for its convenience to the nature of the research. The research community includes 2nd year students of college of physical education / Mosul university (term 2001-2012) who are represented by (198) students of both sexes divided on (8) groups. The basic research sample includes (178) students after excluding (20) female students for the research is designed for only male students. The sample has been divided into two samples , each of them includes (138) students as a construction sample at a proportion of ( 77,53%) .The students of this group are divided as follows : (30) students for reliability purposes , (8) students for pilot study , and (100) students for the statistical analysis to find the discriminating power. While , the application sample includes (40) students at a proportion of (22,47%) . The means of collecting data adopted by the researcher are ; the questionnaire, analysis , collecting information and the test . The tests include: Skilful cognition test for some gymnastic devices (floor movement carpet, parallelogram apparatus, and horse-of-handles apparatus ). The research is required to be constructed on 2nd year students of college of physical education. So, the construction procedures involve preparing the initial formula of the test, preparing the initial test items , the scientific properties of the test which include ( the jury validity, reliability coefficient , the statistical analysis of the items , easiness and difficulty coefficient and the internal harmony among the test items ) as well as finding the correction key for the test items .The statistical means include the arithmetic mean, mode , standard deviation, equation of coefficient of skewenss by (Karl Person) , simple correlation coefficient, assumption mean of the test, easiness and difficulty coefficient , discrimination coefficient , T-test for one sample and percentage.The researcher has concluded the following results :-The afficiency of the cognitive test constructed to measure the skilful cognition for some gymnastic devices.-The 2nd year students of college of physical education are enjoying high skilful cognition level that affects positively their learning achievement in gymnastic.-Setting standard levels for research sample in the skilful cognition for some gymnastic devices.
