The effect of an educational program using artificial intelligence applications on learning backstroke skills among people with motor disabilities

Abstract

Purpose, this study aimed to identify the impact of an educational program using artificial intelligence applications on learning backstroke skills among people with motor disabilities, Methods, the study sample consisted of (22) students with motor disabilities at Hashemite University and registered for the second semester of the academic year 2024/2025 (who are not fluent in swimming skills). They were divided into two groups, an experimental group (12) students and a control group (10) student. The researcher used the experimental method by designing the experimental and control group for its suitability and objectives of the study. An educational program in swimming using artificial intelligence applications was applied to the experimental group for 8 weeks three times a week and 45 minutes each unit, while the control group was taught in the traditional way, Results, the results of the study indicated that there are statistically significant differences between the pre-and post-measurements and in favour of the post-measurement in the skill level of the two groups. Conclusion, the researcher recommends adopting the proposed educational swimming program for basic skills in swimming using artificial intelligence applications.
