Effectiveness of a training Program to improve Cognitive Skills among Kindergarten Children

(Applied study on children of (Mama Safiya) kindergarten - Gadarif Municipality - Gadarif State)

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of a training program in improving perceptual skills among kindergarten children, and to determine the statistically significant differences between the children's responses before and after the implementation of the training program. It also sought to examine the statistically significant differences in the children's responses related to the study variables: gender, level, and education level of the child's guardian. The study employed a quasi-experimental approach, utilizing the training program and scale as tools. The sample of the study are children of kindergarten schools in King Neighborhood in Al-Qadarif Municipality. A purposive sample was taken, consisting of 31 children from Mama Safiya Kindergarten. The results were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study found that there were statistically significant differences between the children's responses before and after the implementation of the training program, favoring the responses of the kindergarten children after the program. Additionally, there were statistically significant differences between the kindergarten children's responses before and after the program regarding their educational level, favoring the responses of second-level kindergarten children. There were also statistically significant differences in the responses before and after the training program based on the education level of the child's guardian, favoring those with a university-level education. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the mean responses of the kindergarten children after the program based on the child's gender.
