Search aim: To identify the effect of using mind maps on learning some of the floor gymnastics skills under investigation (front balance, side balance, handstand, and side somersault on hands) for second-year middle school students. Curriculum used: The experimental method was followed by an experimental design with pre- and post-measurements for two experimental and control groups. Research Sample and Characteristics: The research community consists of second-year middle school students at Al-Shaheed Muhammad Jamal Al-Sayyid Middle School in Bani Amer for the academic year 2024/2025 AD, numbering (117) students. The researcher selected the sample intentionally, numbering (66) students, then withdrew (10) students to conduct The exploratory study and their exclusion from the basic research sample, thus the actual research sample becomes (56) students who were divided into two groups: the experimental group, with which learning is used using thinking maps and its number is (28) students, and the control group, with which the method of learning by commands used and followed in the school is used, with its number is (28) students. The most important results: 1- The use of mind maps positively impacts the improvement of performance levels in some motor skills for the floor gymnastics sport under study. 2- The traditional method (explanation and modeling) positively impacts the improvement of performance levels in the floor gymnastics sport under study. 3- The effect of using mind maps is superior to the traditional method in terms of the percentage of improvement in performance levels of some motor skills for the floor gymnastics sport under study. The most important recommendations: 1- Study the impact of different types of mind maps and determine which ones are most appropriate for the nature of the educational content of various sports activities. 2- Consider the use of mind maps when developing the content of physical education curricula and courses. 3- Use mind maps as a means of active learning and linking educational activities across various subjects within the school.
