Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to develop an evaluation form for the practical performance of fourth-year students from the departments of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Instructors (educational supervisors and scientists) will use this form to grade the subject of application in the faculties of basic education.

Methodology: The study population is made up of 72 fourth-year students (men and women) of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences of the Faculty of Basic Education of Diyala University. All participants belong to the morning shift during the 2023-2024 academic year. These students were intentionally selected, since they are taking the subject of practical application, part of the curriculum of the Ministry of Higher Education.

Results: The results obtained show that the sample reached a “Good” level. This suggests that both the teachers of the practical application subject and the teaching methods employed have provided students with a solid knowledge base. This information has been of great benefit to them at the end of their academic career, allowing them to apply the knowledge acquired in the practical subject and, in this way, achieve the educational objectives established during the last four years.

Conclusions: Students acquire practical knowledge through practical teaching in the field of physical education. In addition, they develop important personality characteristics, such as a suitable appearance and the ability to effectively convey information to their future students.
