ABSTRACT
Education is vital for social, cultural, and economical development of the society. It is very
important instrument in modern creation economy. In school, college, and university,
handball is given as a separate subject who is important like other subjects. However, the
student performance in handball is influenced by the complex set of out of and school,
college, and university related factors.
Those students was investigation student on the major problem that affect teaching learning
process of handball in WOLLO UNIVERSITY the main issues considered are in handball
activities, students interest in handball teaching and learning and finally the factor that
affects students in handball activities to this end descriptive research method was employed.
Data were gathered from 20 sample students and 4 sample teachers. The respondent
sampling was carried out through random sampling technique. The data for this study was
obtained through questionnaire. Both quantitative and qualitative methods and percentages
were used to analysis the data. The result indicate that the students are not interested in the
handball teaching, lack of encouragement for family, teachers and concerned bodies,
inadequately of school, college, and university facilities and teaching materials. Therefore, it
is recommended that depending on the result concerned bodies such as teachers,
administrators, have to encourage the students participation in handball activities, to fulfill
school, college and university facilities, to give equal opportunity like other subjects to
provide different services for the students, to involve teachers and curriculum experts in
curriculum development.

CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Handball is team a sport. Team handball was invented in Europe around the 1890s in which
two team of seven players each (six field players and one a goal keeper) pass ball to
through into the other team .The team the most goals after two periods of 30 minutes are
winners.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/handball)
Official rules were created and it becomes an Olympic event. Mens team handball made it
its Olympic debut at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Womens team handball was later added
in 1976 at the Montreal games. The United States had never enjoyed much success in the
sport, drawn from the fact neither men nor womens teams qualified for the Sydney games.
But the womens team finished 8th at Atlanta games in 1996, while the men took 9th.
(www.handball09.com/the history-of-handball)
The focus and concern of handball is the development of physical, social, emotional and
teaching skills, the acquisition of knowledge and development of attitude through movement
and as a result is contributed much too educational process.
(www.europeanhandball.com.aau/history)
The invention of different kinds of games with no doubted had prefund effect on the current
level of physical education. Today handball is recognized as one of the major parts of
physical education program in most schools, colleges and universities and is incorporated in
the curriculum. Students are more interested leaning activities that they perceive to be a
relevant to their lifes in selecting activities for instruction, the considered. As a student s
become involved in the physical education program potential of the activities to education
should be and teachers should seek to expand their interest by offering new activities and
boarding curriculum opportunities. (sportvite.com/sports/handball/rules)
Teaching learning process of handball is most commonly used to donated they have
participated in the subject area rather than studied it handball trends have developed
gradually to incorporate more activities into handball introducing students to life time
activities at the school, college and university level and can help students develop handball
skills.(blogs.ksbe.edu/../teamhandinfo.pdf)

CHAPTER TWO
2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUN OF HANDBALL
The game handball that we know today invented in germen at the end of 19thc, when it was
introduced to the world by a gymnastic master kornadvoch.

However, the development of the game since its introduction has not been first it was not
have its own governed body it come under the jurisdiction of the international armature
federation (IAAF).
From 1904,handball developed steadily under the watching eye of the IAAF .it keep pace
with the progress of handball and other developing sports, the IAAF appointed, a special
committee presenting the countries where is played the look into the possibility producing a
standardized set of rules for the game.
Modern handball was first played towards the end of 19thcentury.the real impulses emanated
from Denmark, Germany and Sweden. The founding fathers of field handball as a separate
sport at the turn of the century based on the game of introduced his country to a certain
periods/sport named handball in 1910.
In 1928, eleven handball playing nations met in Amsterdam on the occasion of the Olympics
games and as results of this meeting the international amateur handball federation (IAHF)
was formed.
In 1931, just three years after attaining a separate entity, handball was included in the
program of the games by the international Olympic committee. The first was included in the
Olympic held Berlin in 1936.
Indoor handball was invented in 1940s in Denmark .there is a-7-a side game, played on a
court slightly larger than a basketball court with similar goals than its outdoor counterpart
again this sport flourished in the Germanic nations were it was hoped that it would that it is
appeal to older audience with rules from other sports like basketball being introduced, this
made the game similar to players actions and experiments and higher scores than soccer or
football .handball has always been a sport dominated by the European nations .in its
formative years as an outdoor game, Germany, Austria and Denmark dominated in the
international sphere level through not many other nations outside Europe were playing.
2.2 effective teaching in handball
Wuest Bucher (1999:390-392) states that;

Teaching can be defined as that interaction of the teachers and the learners that make the
learning more successful. Although it is possible for learning to occur without a teachers
involvement, it is generally accepted that teachers facilitate the acquisition of knowledge,
skills, and attitude.
Teachers who are effective use of a variety of pedagogical skills and strategies to ensure that
their students are approximately engaged in relevant activities a high percentage of time,
hold positive expectations for their students, and create and maintain a class room climate
that is warm and nurturing.
Effective teachers are able to maintain an orderly, productive learning environment,
handling discipline problems appropriately while encouraged and providing opportunities
for students to learning responsibility and to accountable for their actions, wide variety of
teaching methods and instructional strategies are judiciously employed to maximize students
active and successful engagement in relevant tasks. The ability to present clear explanations
and offer accurate demonstration contributes to learning.
The communication of high expectation for each student is also important. Teachers should
hold high expectations for both students learning and behave or positive expectations
including the belief that all students are capable of learning, are important in establishing a
warm, nurturing classroom climate and a productive learning environment.
The ability to motivate students to perform to their potential is the goal of every teacher,
skillful teachers use a variety of teaching techniques to involve students in participation and
seek creative technique to involve students in the learning process. They also use
appropriate reinforcement technique to maintain students involvement and promote a level
of student involvement promote a high level of student effort.
Effective teachers process superior human relation skills. They listen to students and accept
students as individual treating then as such. They strive to instill in each student a sense of
self worth. Effective teachers shows concern for the well-being of each student in their
classes and endues or provides students with opportunities that enhance their self
confidence.

In general effective teachers are able to successfully utilize a variety of skills pertaining to
the organization, communication, instruction, motivation, and human relations. However
effective teaching requires more than skills to the specific context and situation. Although
many of these skills appear to be innate to certain individuals, all of them con be developed
or improved by individuals who desire to become effective teachers.
2.3 The major problems of handball teaching
Deborah Wuest (1994:14);
Problems are numerous in all areas of teaching handball as one major part of the physical
education program shares advantages, disadvantages and the problems in all respects
equally.
Secondary school physical education programs have been criticized by the public and
professionals. Criticism has focused on the worth of the subject matter , the outcomes
realized , the manner in which the program is conducted, and its contribution to the
education of the students unfortunately, this criticism obscures the fact that there many
outstanding programs of school, college, and university physical educations being
conducted throughout the nation. Dedicated teachers work hard towards achieving the desire
outcomes for their programs, using a variety of approaches that adhere to the basic tenets of
curriculum and instruction and are sensitive to the context in which they teach.
The following are the major problems of handball teaching-learning process:
1.

The arrangement of activities

Luck of proper facilities
Large class size

Student problem
Student interest

2.3.1 The arrangement of activities

Deborah wuest (1994:15) states that;

The various arrangement of instructional time is used in these programs. Typically, short
instructional units of 3 to 4 weeks in length are used at the school, college, and university
level to allow students to become familiar with a variety of activities. The short exposure
introduces students to many activities and allow them to identify activities and allows them
to identify activities in which they an interest.
At the school level, longer instructional units are offered, ranging from 4 weeks to
semesters. To increased length of time devoted to an activity helps students attain
competency in activity suited to their ability and interest and further chances for continued
participation. Mastery appears to be closely associated with the development of desired
affective outcomes such as personal satisfaction, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
2.3.2 Luck of proper facilities
Physical education learning experience becomes more memorable through the proper use of
supplementary teaching aid each teacher should have a variety of good instructional
materials, but should remember that the more exposure to them will insure learning. All
such materials should assist the students to learn and should not be used as a means of
entertainment where properly used such aids can increase the depth and speed of teaching
learning activity.
When handball fell shortage of the facilities required teachers will also be in a problem on
this issues they write it follows inevitably that luck facilities has its effect upon the moral
teachers as well as on the teaching learning process the problems that in part be tackled if
they necessary materials are variable.
On this issue perstresses and sine lain (1978:210);
Wrote a high priority must be assigned to facilitate that can meet the engages since
To blucher (overcoming obstacles means creating a better situation without the help of
facilities the realization of objective of physical education seems impossible on this regard.
2.3.3 Large class size

There are the problems that large class size is believed to be possible according 1975:319)
these are it takes time, discipline many be a greater problem, and the administrative
structure of the class will be informal.
Bucher and Koenig (1974:211) states that;
the size of class affect the number of teaching situations, supplies and equipment, size of
area , and the number of available teachers.
2.3.4 Time allotment
Bucher and Koenig (1974:213) suggested that the time advantage can be achieved by longer
period.
In same situation it may advisable to have physical education on a fewer days with longer
periods (Bucher and Koenig ibid: 212).
2.3.5 Teaching method
The longer the periods the higher the percentage of time available for handball activities no
program of activities like handball are favorite of boys and girls. But there are certain
teaching and students interest problems which require special method.
According to Bucher and Koenig (1974:257) states that:
The problem is method of dividing between the teacher of game skills and actual playing of
the game itself and problems in the method of specifying certain position on team sports.
The teaching learning process is to be effective; class organization is the key to success.
2.3.6 Problem of conducting handball lessons
According to Bucher (1975:4) students do not want to be required to perform the same
activities as other students where abilities, needs, and interests may different from their own.
That means they tend to like to activities which are widely recognized and have many funds.
Bucher further states that too many students unfortunately do not recognize the need for

attending handball classes. So the classes will stubbornly Passover with many reluctant and
disinterested students attendance.
2.3.7 Student problem
Students attention is also drawn to sports which are of their own favorite as Bucher
(1975:4) wrote students do not want to participate on activities whose abilities, needs and
interests may be different from their own. Students with low motor ability are often ignored
by the physical education (Bucher, 1975:407) students are not aware of the objective of
physical education.
2.3.8 Student interest
Different students have different interests towards handball teaching some students believe
that psychological education has a great role or benefit for them Bucher (1975:2) state as
follows.
In learning physical skills, the exercise it supplies for becoming fit, the social contributions
such as the development of sports man ship qualities learning hero to get along with others
and team work this psychological benefits is the from self-confidence and out let for mental
frustration, improvement of personality and development of qualities coverage and self
discipline and knowledge learned inter respect the role of sport in the culture of the world.
