The Impact of Implementing a Multi-Level Teaching Approach on Front Crawl Swimming Technique and Emotional Intelligence. JEPonline 2024;27(6):1-11. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a multi-level teaching approach in enhancing the students' front crawl in swimming and emotional intelligence (EI). The study involved 21 students enrolled in a level-one swimming course who were randomly assigned to either the Experimental Group (n = 11) or the Control Group (n = 10). The Experimental Group received instructions through a multi-level teaching method, while the Control Group was taught using traditional methods. Over a 6-wk period, both Groups attended 3, 60-min sessions per week that focused on assessing swimming performance using standardized criteria with data reported as mean [+ or -] SD, and EI levels were measured through validated surveys. Results showed that the multi-level teaching method led to a significant improvement in front crawl performance compared to the Control Group. However, no significant difference was observed between the Groups regarding their EI levels. The findings highlight the potential of multi-level teaching strategies to enhance swimming performance.
