The Effect of the Relearning Method on Performance Satisfaction and Passing and Dribbling Accuracy in Handball Among Students.

Abstract

The study aimed to develop a Performance Satisfaction Scale for students in handball and to investigate the effect of the Relearning Method on performance satisfaction and the accuracy of passing and dribbling in handball among students. The researcher hypothesized that the relearning method would have a positive effect on performance satisfaction as well as passing and dribbling accuracy. The study was conducted on a sample of 32 second-year students from the College of Physical Education, University of Babylon, randomly selected from a population of 168 students, representing 19.05% of the total population. The participants were randomly assigned into two equal groups: an experimental group and a control group, with 16 students in each group. Equivalence between the two groups was established before the intervention. Both groups participated in eight instructional units, each lasting 90 minutes. The experimental group was taught using the relearning method, whereas the control group received instruction through the conventional teaching method used by the instructor. After completing the instructional program, post-tests were administered, and the data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. The findings indicated that the researcher successfully developed a Performance Satisfaction Scale for handball students and that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in performance satisfaction as well as passing and dribbling accuracy. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended incorporating the relearning method into handball instructional units and encouraging handball instructors to adopt this method to enhance students’ performance satisfaction and improve the accuracy of passing and dribbling skills.
