Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the effects of specially programmed physical and health education with the application of content from sports games (basketball, volleyball, and handball) in the duration of one semester to qualitative changes in situational motor skills in students in the fifth grade of elementary school. The study included 106 pupils of the V class, aged 10 to 11 years, clinically and mentally healthy, and with no pronounced morphological and locomotor impairments. The sample of respondents was divided into two subgroups, an experimental group (53 pupils), who carried out physical education classes according to the modified plan and program of sports games (basketball, volleyball, and handball) for a semester and a control group (53 pupils) who attended regular classes from physical education according to the current curriculum. In order to determine qualitative changes in situational motor abilities, descriptive statistics, T-test, and factor analysis were used. The results of the factor analysis show that there were statistically significant qualitative changes, and based on the results of t-tests it can be concluded that they are statistically significant at levels less than 1% for the SMKVLS variable, and at levels less than 5% for the variables SMRBLZ and SMRVLS. In the final measurement, there was a change in value and thus a difference in the variables of the SMKBLK after the program of work.

Summary

Introduction

Physical and health culture is an integral part of the educational process and has the task of positive transformation of personality dimensions throughout all ages (Prskalo & Findak, 2003). To safely and efficiently affect the anthropological status of pupils by means of well-planned and programmed teaching content of physical education, their proper growth, development of their abilities, on the fund of motor knowledge and achievements, it is necessary to determine the current state of anthropological status of students, to determine the guidelines for their transformation and Provide feedback on the achieved level of transformations (Stankovic, 2002). To raise the system to a higher level of program transformation, it is necessary to manage, ie to measure the system according to the desired direction, and this is only possible if we know the elements of the system itself and their mutual relations. The tools represent techniques of sports games, elements of gymnastics and athletic discipline, as well as design exercises and natural habits of movement, all aimed at raising the level of the subject's abilities to a higher level, which will be reflected in improved health condition and an increased level of motor, situational motor, functional and other systems that make up the student's system.
