Interactive Thinking and Its Relationship to the Shooting Skills of Jumping Forward and Handling Over the Head in Handball for Female Students

Abstract

The research aimed to identify the degree of interactive thinking and the performance of the shooting skills of jumping forward and handling over the head with handball for second-year female students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women/University of Baghdad, as well as identifying the extent to which interactive thinking is related to the performance of the two skills under study among the research sample. The researchers relied on The descriptive approach using the method of correlational relationships on a sample of female students in the second stage of divisions (C and D), numbering (39) students. As for the problem of the research, it emerged through the researchers’ follow-up of the students’ results, especially in the practical aspect. It was found that there are some difficulties faced by the second-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences for Women when learning the shooting skills of jumping forward and handling overhead with handball, despite the attempts and efforts they make. The subject teacher leads them towards better learning. After applying the research tool and analyzing the data statistically, it was found that there is a positive correlation between interactive thinking and the skills of handling from above the head and aiming from jumping forward. Based on these results, the two researchers concluded that the female students enjoy a degree of positive interactive thinking, individually or collectively, between themselves and the teaching staff, and there is also a moral correlation relationship. Between interactive thinking and the aiming skills of jumping forward and handling from above the head, the researchers presented some recommendations, the most important of which is to constantly use the interactive thinking scale to find appropriate solutions and to know the students’ abilities in thinking, innovation and exploration to improve the level of performance. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
