Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to develop two scales for measuring administrative creativity and decision-making among coaches of Iraqi Elite Handball League clubs, identify their levels, and examine the role of administrative creativity in supporting coaches’ decision-making. Materials and Methods: This study used a descriptive survey design with a correlational approach. The population consisted of 196 players from Iraqi Elite Handball League clubs during the 2024–2025 season. The sample was divided into an exploratory sample of 14 players, a scale-construction sample of 112 players, and an application sample of 70 players. Two scales were developed: the Administrative Creativity Scale and the Decision-Making Scale. Validity was examined through expert judgment, item discrimination, and internal consistency, while reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Results: The final Administrative Creativity Scale consisted of 80 items across seven domains, while the Decision-Making Scale consisted of 56 items across five domains. The administrative creativity level was moderate, with a mean score of 267.814, while the decision-making level was high, with a mean score of 203.85. Most coaches were perceived to have moderate administrative creativity and high decision-making ability. Conclusions: The two developed scales were valid and reliable for measuring administrative creativity and decision-making among elite handball coaches. Administrative creativity appears to support decision-making by helping coaches generate alternatives, adapt to match situations, and select appropriate solutions under competitive pressure.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of educational sessions based on Thelen’s model on learning basic basketball skills among secondary school students. Materials and Methods: This study used an experimental design with two equivalent groups and pre-test–post-test measurements. The participants were 49 fifth-grade science students from Daabal Al-Khaza’i Secondary School for Boys. After exclusions, the main sample consisted of two groups: an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 16 students. The experimental group was taught using educational sessions based on Thelen’s model, while the control group was taught using the traditional method. The program consisted of eight weekly sessions focused on lay-up shooting and jump shooting. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement from pre-test to post-test in lay-up shooting and jump shooting. However, the experimental group achieved better post-test results than the control group. In lay-up shooting, the experimental group obtained a post-test mean of 23.954, compared with 21.396 in the control group. In jump shooting, the experimental group obtained a post-test mean of 20.795, compared with 17.651 in the control group. Conclusions: Educational sessions based on Thelen’s model were more effective than the traditional method in improving lay-up shooting and jump shooting among secondary school students. The model encouraged cooperation, group inquiry, active participation, and reflective learning, making it suitable for basketball instruction in physical education classes.
