The purpose of this paper is to preparing educational units according to the cognitive acceleration strategy in teaching some basic skills in handball to students, and identifying the effect of using the cognitive acceleration strategy in teaching some basic skills in handball to students. The researchers assumed the existence of a statistically significant difference in cognitive acceleration in learning some basic handball skills among the students of the research sample. The researchers used the experimental method in a (Two equal groups) manner on the second-year students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Wasit. And for the academic year 2023-2024, which is 20 years old. Their number was (61) after excluding the female students, and the research sample was divided randomly. Section (B) was chosen to be a control sample and Section (C) was chosen to be an experimental sample. (20) students were chosen for both the control and experimental groups in a random manner from each section. So that the number of the sample became (40) students, homogeneity and equivalence were carried out in the variables that are likely to affect the program, which are (Weight, age, and height). The basic handball skills used in the research were determined through a questionnaire form for the purpose of determining them, and they were presented to (15) experts. And a specialist in the field of the game of handball in order to determine the most important basic skills. Appropriate tests were identified to measure the basic handball skills under research. Scientific foundations were found for the tests designed to measure some basic handball skills, a pre-test, and the preparation of educational units according to the cognitive acceleration strategy. The exploratory experiment and the application of the educational curriculum and testing. Dimensional and statistical methods. The researchers concluded that using the cognitive acceleration strategy is more effective than the traditional method used in acquiring some basic handball skills. The researchers recommended the necessity of using the cognitive acceleration strategy, which is one of the modern methods in teaching programs and preparing students of physical education and sports sciences, especially in teaching basic handball skills. Conducting similar studies and research on the rest of the basic skills in handball and for other academic stages, encouraging students to use self-feedback during performance, increasing their interaction with the lesson and the teacher, and training teachers on different types of teaching methods for the purpose of raising the scientific level of teachers.
