Abstract
The importance of this research lies in establishing standardized scores and levels for some basic basketball skills due to the lack of fixed and specific standards to measure students’ performance in these fundamental skills. The research problem arises from the absence of reference criteria when attempting to determine students’ skill levels in basketball. The study aimed to develop standardized scores and levels for certain basic basketball skills. The research scope included the human domain—first-year students in the Physical Education Department at the College of Basic Education, University of Mosul, during the academic year 2007/2008; the time frame—from November 1, 2007, to February 1, 2008; and the location—the sports hall at the College of Basic Education. The sample consisted of 60 students out of an original 70 after excluding female students and those who failed, representing 85.71% of the original population. Statistical analysis of the raw data led to several conclusions: the selected tests for the basic skills matched the level of the sample; standardized scores and levels were established for the basketball skill tests; and most of the sample members fell within the average standard level. The researchers recommended adopting the derived standardized scores and levels to evaluate first-year physical education students’ performance in midterm and final exams of basic basketball skills, and conducting similar studies on other team sports in the Physical Education Department at the College of Basic Education.
