Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the involvement of blocked and random practices in acquisition, retention and transfer in teaching basketball skills in Senior High Schools. A quasi-experimental design was used for this study. 60 participants were selected from Presbyterian Senior High School, Accra using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Participants were assigned (n = 30) to Blocked Practice Group (BPG) and Random Practice Group (RPG) respectively. The study involved teaching and learning of 3 basketball skills in 9 training sessions. The reliability coefficient yielded α = .78 using KR21. Four research questions were answered while 2 hypotheses were tested. Descriptive analysis of means and standard deviations was used to answer the research questions while inferential statistics of ANOVA and T-test was used to test the two hypotheses at 0.05 significant level. Results for acquisition indicated the BPG scored higher means than the RPG in all three skills. Results for retention showed much improved performance by the RPG than the BPG in all 3 skills. For transfer, similar results were obtained. ANOVA test for retention produced the following F-values at p
