CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Scope of the Study There are various factors responsible for motor skills performance, such as, location, gender, maturation, age, heredity, motivation, and physical fitness. Among these factors, the study focuses on location and gender. In addition, there are so many secondary schools in Awka South Local Government Area. The study concentrated on two secondary schools from urban and two from rural areas. They include: St John of God Awka, Igwebuike Grammar School, Awka, Girls’ Seco ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 6 ]these schools, there are usually nice laboratory equipments which facilitate teaching and learning exercise. The students here are normally selected based on their performances in the common entrance examinations. Furthermore, the teachers in these schools are usually qualified teachers. Hence the students here are more opportuned in a way than those in rural schools.Blakemere and Cookey (1990) observed that in most countries today education is approved for political, moral, psychological, econo ...

Two parallel lines were drawn 10 metres apart, and bean bags were placed on one of the lines. The performer started, and ran from the opposite line, picked up one bean bag and brought back to where he began. The performer then, returned for the other bean bags which he carried across the finis ... Continue reading---
