Abstract:

The current study aimed to verify the effectiveness of two types of electronic collaboration (guided- unguided) and their effect on Developing some of kinesthetic Literacy among Students in the College of Basic Education in Kuwait, the quasi-experimental research methodology was used to verify the research hypotheses, as it is suitable for the nature of the current research and its variables, the researcher used Solomon three- group design with both pre and post testing. The sample was withdrawn deliberately, and consisted of 34 students, in the second term of the year 2015/2016, who were studying fitness syllabus and are not specialized in Physical Education in the College of Basic Education in Kuwait, the participants were randomly assigned to three groups, two experimental and one control group, the first experimental group (12 students) studied using the guided e-collaborative method, the second experimental group (13 students) studied using the unguided e-collaborative method, and the control group studied using the traditional way (9) students, The research instruments included the following tools, an achievement test to measure the cognitive competencies and a kinesthetic literacy measure and observation card, the validity and reliability of those tools have been verified through arbitration experts and statistical processing, the researcher applied the e-collaboration through the Learning Management System (LMS), the researcher applied achievement test, and the kinesthetic literacy measure in the pre and post testing settings, and applied the observation card tool in the post-test only, then the researcher conducted the appropriate statistical analysis to test the hypotheses and then answer the research questions. The study results showed statistically significant differences between the mean pre and post- test of the e-collaborative types on the development of some kinesthetic Literacy among the fitness syllabus students in the Faculty of Basic Education in Kuwait, the results also showed significant differences in achievement test, the kinesthetic literacy measure, and the observation card between types of e-collaboration, the researcher recommended using the measuring tools that he prepared for the future studies, the research also provided some appropriate theoretical and practical recommendations.
