The impact of wave discovery and brainstorming strategies on students' positive thinking and learning for improving free-style swimming abilities

Abstract

The study aimed to create a positive thinking scale and determine the effectiveness of guided exploration and brainstorming approaches in developing positive thinking. In addition to learning free swimming, students will benefit from the impact of guided exploration and brainstorming approaches on positive thinking and free swimming. As is appropriate for the nature of the study, the researcher employed the experimental approach of constructing two equivalent groups with a pre-and post-test. The research community was decided by the first-stage students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences/Al-Qasim Green University for the academic year 2022/2023, which totaled (63). After three students were taken out, the research sample was comprised of 60 pupils, which represented 95.23% of the community. This was due to one of them becoming unwell and the other two being absent frequently, and it was separated into numerous samples per the study methods. The most important conclusions were reached, which are that the two methods (guided discovery and brainstorming) had an impact on developing positive thinking for students. In addition to learning the skills of forward flow, leg skill, arm skill, and evaluating the technical performance of freestyle swimming for students. And that the two methods (guided discovery and brainstorming) have the same effect in developing positive thinking for students learning freestyle swimming. In addition, the same effect in learning the skills of forward flow, leg skill, arm skill, and evaluating the technical performance of freestyle swimming for students learning freestyle swimming.
