Forecasting Achievement Sports through Cooperative Learning in Handball Training in Physical Education

This work studied 60 university students who were registered in two handball training classes in the second year of Physical Education and Sports Science throughout the academic year 2017 to 2018.

It aims to identify the impact of two different training styles (cooperative and traditional) on players’ achievements and basic techniques in a handball learning unit.

Hence, the sample was divided into the control and experiment groups. The experiment group was subjected to the cooperative training technique, whereas the control group was subjected to the traditional training (teacher-cantered) technique. The complying instruments were used to collect learning design inventory, handball achievement tests, handball techniques, and assessment forms.

The handball attitude scale revealed that cooperative training during a handball training class has a stronger link to students’ sporting activities achievements, class attitude, and exercise skills compared to traditional training. Results of players’ test range suggest that they prefer cooperative training.

This study can help researchers and practitioners conduct Cooperative Learning intervention programs Physical Education in Schools and Universities.
