Abstract

General Background Primary school language education is designed to develop comprehensive language competencies, focusing heavily on oral communication skills to help students express ideas efficiently within real-world contexts. Specific Background Traditional approaches often leave students disengaged, prompting teachers to implement active learning models like role-playing to foster classroom interaction and deepen conceptual understanding. Knowledge Gap While diverse teaching methods exist, empirical tracking of structured dramatization specifically targeting oral retelling performance remains inconsistent and frequently disconnected from quantitative verification frameworks in elementary settings. Aims This study evaluates the statistical changes in speaking and narrative retelling performance among fourth-grade students after implementing a role-playing pedagogical intervention. Results Quantitative analysis of 14 participants revealed that the student mean score increased from a pre-test baseline of 46.43 ($\text{SD} = 15.742$) to a post-test peak of 87.50 ($\text{SD} = 7.532$). Normality testing confirmed a regular distribution for the pre-test data ($p > 0.05$), though post-test variations deviated significantly on the Shapiro-Wilk metric ($p = 0.027$), indicating a distinct consolidation of high-performing scores following the treatment. Novelty This intervention combines localized dramatic role assumption with empirical tracking metrics to isolate direct shifts in narrative vocalization proficiency. Implications Integrating active simulation frameworks into early language curricula significantly elevates vocal performance, proving that experiential dramatic exercises offer a reliable pathway for reinforcing oral literacy in primary education. Keywords: Oral Communication, Classroom Dramatization, Primary Education, Narrative Retelling, Language Pedagogy Key Findings Highlights Post-intervention speaking evaluations demonstrated a substantial increase in student performance averages alongside a narrower overall data distribution. Normality tests revealed a significant distribution shift in student scores after completing the active learning cycles. Experimental results verify that structural role-playing methods successfully optimize student capabilities in oral narrative retelling.

Abstract

General Background: Competitive handball requires rapid information processing and appropriate tactical responses under constantly changing playing situations. Specific Background: During fast-break attacks, young players must interpret teammates’ and opponents’ positions and select an appropriate response within limited time, while psychological strain may reduce concentration and adaptive thinking may support tactical selection. Knowledge Gap: The combined contribution of these two cognitive and psychological variables to tactical choices among Iraqi youth players remains insufficiently examined. Aims: This study assesses their individual relationships with fast-break decision performance and constructs a regression model explaining tactical response quality. Results: A descriptive correlational predictive design included all 16 youth players from Al-Kufa Sports Club during the 2025–2026 season. Data were collected using a mental fatigue scale, the Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, and an expert-rated fast-break decision test. Psychological strain was negatively correlated with tactical response scores (r = −0.712), whereas adaptive thinking was positively correlated with them (r = 0.689). The combined model was statistically significant, F = 16.41, p = 0.001, and explained 71.6% of the variance in performance scores. Regression coefficients confirmed negative contribution from strain (B = −0.63, p = 0.004) and positive contribution from adaptive thinking (B = 0.38, p = 0.011). Novelty: The study integrates two cognitive-psychological variables within one predictive model for high-tempo attacking situations. Implications: Youth preparation programs should incorporate psychological recovery strategies and executive-function exercises alongside technical and physical training. Highlights: Higher strain corresponded with poorer tactical choices at r = −0.712. Adaptive thinking corresponded with better responses at r = 0.689. The combined regression model explained 71.6% of performance variance. Keywords: Mental Fatigue, Cognitive Flexibility, Decision-Making Accuracy, Fast Attack.

Abstract

General Background Language education is a complex process based on an interinculcation of psychological, psycholinguistic, and pedagogical bases, functioning as a dynamic system developed through external and internal determinants. Specific Background Mother-tongue instruction at school transforms natural children's speaking skills into academic language literacy while differentiating between the distinct psycholinguistic processes of acquisition and learning. Knowledge Gap Traditional methodology often relies heavily on grammar rules rather than modern performance-oriented principles, necessitating a clear distinction between conscious learning and true language acquisition. Aims This study aims to examine psycholinguistic and pedagogical bases of linguodidactics, elaborate on primary regulations of mother-tongue didactics, and offer actionable recommendations for performance-oriented instructional design. Results The findings reveal that language education depends on the interaction of external factors (objectives, learning environments, and didactic resources) and internal factors (cognitive styles, motivation, and responsibility), guided by four universal pedagogical principles: form-meaning interdependence, language-speech interrelation, theory-practice integration, and oral-written language connection. Novelty The integration of conscious language studies with communicative competence frameworks shifts the teacher's role from a primary knowledge giver to a facilitator, moderator, and communication partner. Implications These findings indicate that reforming mother-tongue education away from traditional grammar-oriented models toward contemporary competency-based models optimizes both teaching materials and pedagogical approaches for effective communicative competence. Highlights: Language education operates as a dynamic system driven by external environment components and internal cognitive attributes. Universal pedagogical guidelines mandate that linguistic form and semantic meaning remain interdependent during instruction. Performance-oriented instructional design transitions traditional grammar-based approaches into interactive communicative competence models.

Abstract

General Background: Basketball requires fundamental technical skills that support ball movement, possession, attack organization, and scoring opportunities. Specific Background: Passing and dribbling are important basketball skills, yet traditional instruction may provide limited opportunities for repeated observation, practice, and self-correction. Knowledge Gap: Scientific investigation is needed to determine how blended learning compares with traditional instruction in developing these fundamental skills among female middle-school students. Aims: This study examines a blended learning program for developing basketball passing and dribbling skills among female middle-school students in Najaf Governorate. Results: An experimental design with two equivalent groups and pre- and post-tests was applied to 40 female students aged 14–16 years, with 20 students assigned to each group. The experimental group received face-to-face instruction combined with digital educational resources, while the control group followed traditional instruction. Passing scores in the experimental group increased from 12.45 to 17.85, with t = 8.74 and p < 0.001, representing 43.37% improvement. Dribbling scores increased from 18.74 to 25.63, with t = 9.62 and p < 0.001, representing 36.77% improvement. Post-test comparisons favored the experimental group, with Cohen’s d values of 2.13 for passing and 1.83 for dribbling. Novelty: The study combines face-to-face basketball instruction with videos, images, presentations, demonstrations, and online learning activities. Implications: The findings support the use of blended learning resources within basketball instruction for repeated observation, practical application, feedback, and skill review. Highlights: Passing scores increased by 43.37% in the experimental group. Dribbling scores increased by 36.77% after the program. Cohen’s d reached 2.13 and 1.83 for the two skills. Keywords: Blended, Learning, Dribbling, Skills.
