The effect of certain communication methods on the level of motor satisfaction among students in the 110-meter hurdles race

Abstract

It is generally accepted that the success of any endeavor requires a high degree of satisfaction and contentment, particularly in the field of education. This is supported by studies conducted by Argyris and Bhella, which found that individuals who are more satisfied and content with their work tend to achieve higher levels of results and are expected to perform more effectively. In sports, satisfaction with physical performance is a fundamental motivator for continued participation in physical activities. Furthermore, increased satisfaction with performance is a dimension of interest to psychologists. Singer indicates that satisfaction with performance is a contributing factor to athletic achievement, and therefore, measuring it provides an indicator of overall satisfaction. (Sahib Sharif Adai Al-Zirjawi, Ali Abbas Taher Al-Husseini, 2012, p. 17) For an individual to reach this stage of motor satisfaction with their performance, there must be something that controls or is linked to this satisfaction. Undoubtedly, the learning or teaching method followed by the teacher and the learner, each in their respective context, is crucial and indispensable for the individual practitioner (learner) to reach a level of motor satisfaction with their performance through the method employed in teaching and learning. Someone likened teaching or educational methods to one of the two legs of education, the other being the curriculum. Curricula and study materials have no value if they are not implemented in an optimal manner. (Ali bin Ibrahim Al-Zahrani, 2003, pp. 418, 421) Moston (1995) stated that the foundations of the relationship between the teaching method and the student depend on the degree of the method's influence on the student, through the student's enjoyment of individual physical, psychological, social, intellectual, cognitive, moral, and educational freedom. Many studies point to the importance of teaching methods and their impact on learning and performance in general, and on motor satisfaction with this performance in particular.
