This study was carried out to confirm the characteristic of each game designed from two viewpoints to develop transitional-melee-type game.
Two classes of fourth graders were used in this study, and learned in different ball games throughout 12 lessons, respectively. One was given the “Line Port Ball Game” characterized by an offense-defense-separated type game for decrease of a pressure from the defender. The other had the “Rag Handball” characterized by admitting a running with the ball in hand for lighting ball-handling techniques.
The learning of achievement, i, e, the children's “Comprehended Process”, the attitude toward physical education courses, changes in game aspect, and comprehension of strategy were compared between two classes.
The line port ball game made easy a combination play from the beginning of course and remarkably decreased a trouble such as body contact. The children had a task, in which they would shoot with a linkage of passes, and solved it by combining a side pass in front of the goal, using the zone men.
Some various troubles were caused by a body contact in the rag handball. However, if the troubles were solved a learning of achievement reflected mainly in the attitude score was remarkable as compared in the line port ball game. The above described task was solved by running with the ball in hand and swinging a pass in front of the goal.
In developing teaching materials for transitional-melee-type games, the present results might suggest that the warranty of a state capable of acting positively to its defender was essential to the execution of intentional operation.
