Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel educational program, incorporating exploratory games, in fostering physical creativity, particularly fluency and flexibility, among children aged 7-8 years at the elementary education level. The investigation was situated at a Primary School within Biskra province. Employing the experimental research methodology, the study was structured with a single-group design. A sample comprising 14 students was selected for this research. Throughout the study, the researchers implemented the proposed educational program and conducted both pre- and post-intervention assessments. The results of these assessments indicated a substantial impact of the program on the enhancement of the motor creative abilities under examination. This conclusion was substantiated by the statistical analysis, which revealed that the p-value in both tests was below the established threshold of statistical significance, set at 0.05. Therefore, these findings underscore the program's effectiveness in advancing the physical creative skills of fluency and flexibility in the target age group within the elementary education context.
