The Effect of Using the Reciprocal Method in Teaching Handball Shooting Skills to Intermediate School Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims at identifying the effect of the reciprocal method in teaching handball shooting skills to intermediate school students. It also compares the reciprocal method with the American method in teaching handball shooting skills to intermediate school students. The researcher hypothesizes that there would be statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control groups with favoring the post-test scores. There were also statistically significant differences between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups with favoring the experimental group. The researcher adopts the experimental method, as it was suitable for the nature and objectives of the research. The research sample consists of (110) of the second-year intermediate students from the Martyr Hussein Khalaf Awda Intermediate School. The sample is divided into three sections (A, B, and C). Section A , 25 students, represents the experimental group, while Section B represents the control group which is also of 25 students. The researcher ensured homogeneity in morphological variables and equivalence between both groups as far as the skills tests are concerned. The researcher administrates pre-tests, followed by the main experiment. After the completion of the learning units, the researcher administrates the tests and obtained the final results. The researcher analyzed the results statistically. Based on the discussion of these results, the researcher concluded that the use of the reciprocal style and also the command method has a positive impact on teaching handball shooting skills to intermediate school students. The researcher recommends the necessity of applying the reciprocal method in physical education lessons in order to achieve positive results in developing and teaching some types of handball shooting.
