Study Purpose. highlighting the origins of the sport's philosophy. Studying the development of the sport of kendo across different historical periods and its adaptation to societal and cultural changes. Identifying the establishment of the most prominent organizations and federations that contributed to its development, and exploring the sport's basic tools and rules and its most prominent championships.

Materials and Methods. The historical approach was adopted in studying the historical process of the development of kendo, as it is appropriate to the nature of the problem. The information has been simplified and presented in a sequential manner that presents the development of the sport of kendo, starting from the origins of its philosophy, its origins, and the development of its equipment and basic rules, in light of the cultural and social changes from the Middle Ages to the modern era, relying on several historical, cultural, and sporting scientific references related to the sport of kendo, including books and research articles, Official documents and data are available on the official websites of the International Kendo Federation.

Results.

The integration of women into this sport progressed slowly, as kendo was traditionally viewed as a male-only activity for many years. This perception may be attributed to the cultural traditions of Japanese society, which played a significant role in the development of kendo and its status as a martial art rooted in historical battles.

Conclusions. The sport of kendo has been shaped by various traditional philosophies, concepts, and principles that represent the culture of Japanese society. These influences include samurai traditions, Zen Buddhism, the values of bushido, and the principles of kenjutsu. As a result, kendo has evolved from a mere martial art into a philosophical system that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual development.

Study Purpose. The aim of the study is to develop a specialized questionnaire to evaluate the professional teaching competencies required of motor learning instructors from the perspective of students at the College of Basic Education – Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. It also seeks to identify the responses of the sample, represented by third-year students from both the morning and evening programs, based on their perspectives within the same department.

Material and methods. The study included 224 third-year students, representing 100% of the population in both programs. The sample was divided into three groups: exploratory (24 students), preparatory (100 students), and application (100 students), all selected randomly. A structured questionnaire was developed based on prior studies, covering six domains with 22 items. The tool was reviewed by five motor learning experts, with items approved by over 75% retained. Reliability was confirmed via Cronbach’s alpha, and data were analyzed using SPSS, employing percentage values, chi-square tests, and descriptive statistics.

Results. The findings indicated that most motor learning instructors utilize modern instructional aids, including presentation technology and data show tools, to enhance the learning process. They also focus on positive reinforcement and collaborative activities among students to strengthen relationships and promote engagement. Brainstorming through unexpected questions is also used to stimulate thinking.

Conclusions. The study found that motor learning instructors frequently use modern instructional tools, such as presentation technology and data show aids, to enhance teaching effectiveness. They also apply structured assessments to ensure fair grading and rely on clear theoretical explanations. Allowing students to express their opinions objectively and promoting group work contributed to improved educational outcomes and a more interactive learning environment.
