Abstract

The goal of the study is to investigate the impact of the directed imagination technique on the growth of visual-motor integration in Kirkuk slow learners. The pretest and posttest findings for the experimental group and control group in the development of visual-motor integration for slow learners in the region of Kirkuk were significantly different statistically, according to the researchers' hypotheses, which they used to fulfill their study objectives. Additionally, they believed that there would be statistically significant changes in the post-test findings of the experimental and control groups in terms of how well Kirkuk slow learners integrated their visual-motor skills. By creating two equal groups with a post-test suitable to the nature of the study the researchers employed an experimental technique. The study sample consisted of 32 (1^st & 2^nd grade) primary school pupils (special education) at the Mixed Primary School of Al-Mi’raj. Via lottery, Al-Mi’raj Elementary coeducational Elementary School had been selected to stand for the experimental group and Al-Irada Primary School represented the control group. The teaching material was set in accordance with the strategy of directed imagination ad consisted of 12 policies expressing the pedagogical program of the experimental group and applied for (44)days.
