The role of practicing popular games in promoting social communication among children in light of the spread of electronic games A study from the point of view of primary school principals in Setif State

Abstract

 The study aimed to identify the level of awareness of primary school Directors of the importance of children practicing popular games, and their role in supporting social communication, and to know their proposals to activate them in Algerian primary schools in order to protect children from the dangers of electronic games, through a field study on a sample of primary school Directors in Setif State, we relied on the descriptive survey method, on a sample of 66 individuals, and using the questionnaire tool, the study concluded that the practice of popular games by children inside and outside Algerian primary schools has declined, this is the result of several difficulties, the most important of which is the lack of sufficient space and time in primary schools to practice it, especially in light of the child's preference for attractive, diverse and available electronic games at all times.
