Abstract

The author, being a physical education teacher, noticed that there are traditional teaching methods in teaching physical education to students in the preparatory stage, and the author wanted to use modern technology “infographics” in teaching the long jump. From here lies the importance of the research in designing a technical program to teach the event in a modern manner and keeping pace with technological development in teaching methods. The author used the experimental method. The research aims to identify the effect of using infographics on teaching the long jump event to students in the preparatory stage. The sample was chosen intentionally “from first-year middle school students at Al-Zaytoun Middle School,” and the author used the statistical program to address the data. The most important conclusions were that the educational program using infographics has a positive impact on learning and the level of performance of the long jump event in athletics, with statistically significant differences in the post-measurement of the experimental group. The research procedures were first to present the infographic to experts in the field of curricula and teaching methods, and there was consensus on its validity. Animated infographic for the event “under research,” and secondly, testing the program on a pilot study consisting of 20 students with the aim of identifying the extent of their response during the presentation of the program, and thirdly, identifying the clarity and suitability of the effects and the clarity of the models.
