Effect of a movement education program on the level of bodily-kinesthetic intelligence of preschool children (5-6 age)

Abstract

The research is designed to identify the effect of a movement education program on the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence level of children in the kindergarten stage (5-6 age) using the experimental method of two groups, a control one and an experimental one, using the pretest and posttest for both groups due to its relevance to the nature of the research. The research sample has been randomly chosen from the kindergarten children of El Sayeda Khadija Accredited Primary School in Port Said, during the second semester of the academic year 2018/2019. The main sample is 40 children randomly distributed into two equal groups, each of 20 children. The author has verified the normality of the main sample distribution, the invariance of the experimental and control groups under investigation, the availability of scientific coefficients, validity, and reliability of the intelligence testing battery used under investigation. The most important results are that the proposed movement education program has realized positive results better than the usual movement education program at the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence level of kindergarten children (5-6 age).
