The Effectiveness of Using Problem-Solving Strategies in Learning the Skills of Simple Deception and Shooting in Handball for Students

This study explores the effectiveness of a problem-solving strategy in teaching the skills of simple deception and handball shooting to first-year students at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences during the 2023-2024 academic year. Given the growing emphasis on innovative teaching methods, integrating research-based learning strategies can enhance students' practical and cognitive skills. However, the impact of such strategies on motor skill acquisition remains underexplored. The study employed an experimental design with control and experimental groups, using pre- and post-measurements to evaluate performance. Results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group, demonstrating that involving students in problem-solving tasks enhances motor skills, self-confidence, and overall learning outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of active learning strategies in sports education curricula.
