The development of specific skills in students in primary education through the use of Oina elements

The diversity of tools used in the educational process considerably increases the interest of primary school pupils and makes the physical education lesson much more attractive, especially when it is conducted in the form of a game. Oina is a very complex sports game and the use of specific elements of this game in the formation of students’ skills is relevant. The arguments are based on the analysis of the results of the scientific research carried out at two high schools in Chisinau with the participation of fourth-grade students. The physical education tools proposed in the experimental group’s research highlighted some motor qualities that can be developed in the primary school pupils. With the help of some physical exercises specific to the Oina game of that were practiced during a year of studies, the indices for throwing the Oina ball into the target, hitting the Oina ball accurately, and hitting the Oina ball at a distance improved considerably.
