Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to prepare exercises using tablet technology in learning freestyle swimming skills for female students, and to identify the effect of exercises using tablet technology in learning freestyle swimming skills for female students. The problem of the research lies in learning and paying attention to all new modern technologies that serve the educational process and to find the best ways that can be followed in Students’ excitement towards learning. Therefore, the two researchers decided to use a new technique for physical education lessons in general, as the two researchers noticed the need to make the swimming lesson more interesting and exciting. This is due to the difficulty of the students dealing with the water environment, and in addition to the method used; it may be devoid of excitement and suspense in learning freestyle swimming skills. The two researchers explained that using tablet technology helps students easily deal with the water environment, in addition to making learning faster and better. All of these and other reasons prompted the researchers to use exercises using tablet technology through which it is possible to find solutions to this problem, facilitate the learning process and save time. And the effort, and the experimental approach was adopted by designing the experimental and control groups on a sample of female students amounting to (20) students, and they were chosen intentionally with a percentage of (38.461%) from their original community represented by the uneducated first-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for girls for the academic year (2023-2024), continuing full-time. Regular and in-person swimming lessons. The sample was divided into two experimental and control groups, each group consisting of (10) female students. The educational curriculum was applied to the female students of the experimental group for period of (6) consecutive weeks, with two educational units per week. After completion, the results were processed with the SPSS system to form the conclusions. The recommendations are that it is possible to use exercises using tablet technology in practical lessons to learn freestyle swimming skills for first-stage female students, and that using tablet technology in a swimming lesson helps in learning freestyle swimming skills for female students, as they outperformed students who learned without it, and it is necessary to increase interest in teaching female students in accordance with Tablet technology provides them with excitement and excitement in learning and avoids forced learning, which greatly facilitates the learning process.
