The Effectiveness of Applying the V-Shape Map Strategy on the Level of Skill Performance of Some Handball Skills among Students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Misan University

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of teaching according to the V-shape strategy in developing cognitive achievement and the level of skill performance of certain handball skills among students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Misan University. The study employed an experimental methodology. A handball skills examination was administered (defensive movements, shooting accuracy while falling, shooting accuracy during high jumps, continuous drifting, passing, and ball reception), it consists of five tests administered to a sample of twenty second-year students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Misan University. The students were divided into two groups: an experimental group in which ten students studied using the Vshape strategy, and a control group in which ten students studied in the conventional manner. The findings indicated that there were statistically significant disparities, at a significance level of 0.05, between the mean scores of the students from the two study groups in terms of cognitive achievement and handball skills, with the experimental group demonstrating superior performance. The study proposes the adoption of the V-shape strategy for instructing handball, emphasizing the importance of training educators in its implementation, integrating it into curriculum design, and conducting further research to evaluate its efficacy in teaching scientific concepts and unexplored variables beyond the scope of this study.
