Learning possibility of tactical knowledge in handball unit for 2^th grader male students in junior high school

Abstract

This research looked at physical education classes in junior high school with the aim of determining potential for gaining tactical knowledge. To achieve this, the research was divided into the following three subordinate questions. Firstly, the research involved examining whether the degree of tactical understanding improves throughout a course of physical education classes. Secondly, the research looked at whether the degree of tactical understanding is impacted by a student’s experience of invasion games. Finally, consideration was given to whether there are any situations that create variations in the degree of tactical understanding. The subject of the research comprised 2^nd grader 42 male junior high school students, and classes were held with a focus on off-the-ball movement and tactical awareness. Tactical knowledge tests were created to check tactical understanding on the basis of appropriate situational judgements. The research was conducted over a course of 10 classes, and it incorporated both tactical knowledge tests and interviews before and after the course. The research revealed the following.

1.Tactical understanding was improved through the course of classes.

2.There was no significant difference in tactical understanding resulting from experience of invasion games.

3.The outcom e of the research suggested that there are situations in which tactical understanding is easy to gain, and situations in which it is not. In specific terms, it was suggested that the tactical tasks of penetrating into the space in the goal and solutions pertaining to them may have been difficult.
