The effect of Keegan's structure strategy on learning some offensive handball skills for female students
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to utilize the Keegan Structures strategy in teaching some offensive handball skills. This was achieved by developing educational units using Keegan Structures to teach these skills to female students. The researchers employed an experimental design, selecting a population of 100 first-year intermediate school students from the 2024-2025 academic year, distributed across four classes. The research sample consisted of 50 students, divided into an experimental group of 25 and a control group of 25, representing a 50% participation rate. Students were randomly selected after excluding those who had failed, were ill, were absent, or were not actively participating in the sport. The data were statistically analyzed, leading to several conclusions, including that Keegan Structures enabled the students to learn some offensive handball skills. The researchers recommend conducting a similar study on other subjects
