Standards for implementing the scientific activity

The school is an educational institution with a social educational function because it has its role in educating the children of the community that aligns with the economic, social, and technological life, in addition to its role in shaping the individual's personality and behavioral patterns. School activities, both classroom and extracurricular, are the tools used by the school in nurturing its students, as the primary purpose of school activities is not to enable students to practice activities they desire, but rather as an effective means followed by the school to achieve its social and educational function, which is to develop and refine students' experiences and train them during their practice of various activities on good habits and social behavior demanded by the society in which they live, making them good citizens. Extracurricular activities are one of the types of school stimulants that play a significant role in forming students from various aspects. From a physical perspective, it works on increasing the efficiency of vital organs and improving overall health, as well as gaining physical fitness and a proper posture. Socially, it achieves social formation and desired attitudes. To realize all this, proper educational and vocational guidance is required, which primarily depends on the physical education teacher, who must be aware and do his work in the best way regarding this activity, taking into account students' motives and desires in sports practice to support and direct them so he can succeed in his work. Psychologically, it calms and channels internal energy in a way that benefits the body and mind. Through practice, the individual learns how to face problems, solve psychological knots and issues, learn perseverance, not give up, face reality regardless of its type, and rely on himself to meet daily needs and life requirements.

The course is evaluated before, during, and after, with a pre-course meeting to confirm trainees’ training needs, objectives, review the program, and assign tasks (see appendices — evaluation meeting appendix). Daily meetings are held after each training day for 30 minutes with the trainer, course management, and coordinator to review the day’s program and discuss improvements (see appendices — daily evaluation meeting). A final evaluation meeting is held after the course for an hour to finalize the evaluation and include recommendations for improvement (see appendices — final evaluation meeting).

During and after the program, evaluation is based on observation, measurement, daily trainee evaluation forms, and a evaluation board. 2. Evaluation tools by trainees: a. Experience forms (see appendices — expectation chart and experience form) b. Daily and final evaluation forms (see appendices — training program evaluation form) c.
