فاعلية برنامج قائم على مسرح العرائس لخفض حدة اضطراب قصور الانتباه المصحوب بالنشاط الحركي الزائد لدي أطفال الروضة

Abstract EN

Purpose of the study: the current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a puppet theater-based program developed to reduce the severity of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder of kindergarten children.

the study was based on quasi-experimental one-group pre-post research design.

the sample consisted of 16 male and female kindergarten children with an age range of 5 to 6 years.

methodology: the researcher adopted a semi-experimental one-group design with two measurements, pre- and post-measurement, of the sample in a way appropriate for the variables addressed in this study-namely, the experimental variable which is a puppet theater-based program and the dependent variable which is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder of kindergarten child.

this was conducted to investigate the effect of the experimental variable on the dependent one.

instrument of the study: 1- attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (prepared by Abdul-Rakeeb elBehiery & Mostafa Abdul-Mohsen, 2021); 2- a puppet theater-based program developed to reduce attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder of kindergarten children 3- teacher's manual to implement the program 4- results: there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores in the pre-post measurements on the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder of the post-measurement.

effect size values, in this regard, were great, which indicates that the use of a puppet theater–based program developed had a great effect on to reduce the severity of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder of kindergarten children.
