Abstract
Goalball is considered to possess values and characteristics that can foster awareness of new bodily knowledge. However, there is inadequate investigation into whether this new bodily awareness is reflected in actual performance changes. Also, for novices, mastering goalball throwing skills is challenging, requiring progressive exercises and corresponding instructional materials. This research concentrates on the throwing skills in goalball and aspires to propose teaching materials that can facilitate the awareness of new bodily knowledge during class lessons and improve throwing proficiency. The process entails（ 1） an exploratory pilot study by the authors, and（2） trial implementation with a few participants, on the basis of which the final teaching materials are proposed. The study also aims to present findings obtained from the pilot study and trial implementation that contribute to the enhancement of goalball throwing skills. The results indicated that the developed teaching materials could be adequately utilized with the intent of fostering awareness of new bodily knowledge and enhancing goalball throwing skills. We were also able to identify three cues in bodily knowledge that serve as references for targeting the ball directly ahead. Additionally, we managed to propose refined teaching materials for easier utilization in classes and similar settings. Future directions include the exploration of usage methods for these materials in class settings and research on their practical implementation.
