Abstract

Introduction: The importance of the research lies in the need to exchange sports knowledge between principals and their assistants and all workers in the field of extracurricular student activities, especially in the sports field.

Objective: Preparing and standardizing the measure of sports knowledge management for workers in student activities.

Methodology: The descriptive approach was adopted on a sample of (740) workers in student activities, where it was divided into (an exploratory experiment sample, a building sample, and a unification sample).

Results: (57) items were prepared, (34) of which were validated by factor analysis of the validity of the test. The stability of the test was verified by the half-hash method with a value of (0.783) and by the chi-square method with a value of (0.744) at the level of significance (0.05) achieving raw grades ranging from (100 - 134) corresponding to (2.5236 to -3.0546) Z°, (75.24 to 19.45) T.

Discussion: The validity and consistency of the measure of mathematical knowledge in its dimensions including mathematical knowledge, discovery, possession, application and communication has been verified. The measure of mathematical knowledge contributed to finding realistic solutions according to standard scores from raw data processing. All those in charge of student activities have an acceptable average view of the mathematical knowledge management scale.

Conclusions: The possibility of preparing and standardizing the mathematical knowledge management scale for workers in student activities in Iraqi universities and the ease of applying the mathematical knowledge management scale to the construction and standardization sample.
