The effect of generative learning strategy on learning some complex handball skills among handball players in specialized school handball

Abstract

The research aims to identify the effect of the generative learning strategy on learning some complex skills in handball among players of specialized handball schools and to identify the differences between the pre- and post-tests between the control and experimental groups. The researcher used the experimental method in designing the two equivalent groups to suit the nature of the research problem. The researcher identified the research population as handball players aged (11-12) years from the National Center for Sports Talents and specialized schools in Al-Qadisiyah Governorate, specifically players from the specialized school in Al-Diwaniyah Governorate. The total number of players was (60), and a random sample of (40) players was selected by lottery and distributed among them. 1. The generative learning strategy clearly outperforms the complex handball skills (deception-passing, deception-shooting, deception-shooting) compared to the method adopted by the control group. 3. The generative learning strategy helped the players in the experimental group to link the elements of a single skill and improve the fluidity of movement in executing the deception before passing or shooting, which was reflected in the significant increase in post-performance.
