This study aims to investigate the effect of employing the Project – Based Learning (PBL) strategy on developing selected rhythmic movement skills among music education students. The research stems from the need to enhance students، rhythmic performance skills through active learning approaches that allow them to participate in designing and implementing educational projects related to rhythmic movement. A quasi – experimental design was used، applying a PBL-based instructional program to a sample of music education students. Their rhythmic movement skills were measured before and after the intervention using an assessment tool prepared for this purpose. The results indicated statistically significant differences between the pre- and post – measurement scores in favor of the and post – measurement demonstrating the effectiveness of the PBL strategy in improving students ، rhythmic movement skills. The study recommends integrating project – based approaches into music education curricula to promote active learning and develop students، rhythmic and motor abilities.
