The research aims to identify the nature of the correlation between academic self-motivation and self-skill and offensive tactical behavior in handball for students of the fourth stage, and to identify the discriminatory classification according to academic self-motivation and self-skill as a function to predict the offensive tactical behavior in handball for students of the fourth stage.

And revealing the percentages of the contribution of academic self-motivation and self-skill offensive tactical handball behavior for students of the fourth stage.

The descriptive approach was used in the survey method, correlational relationships and predictive studies, and the research community was determined by the students of the fourth stage, the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences - University of Babylon, which numbered (160) students for the academic year 2022-2023, and the researcher chose (32) students to represent his research sample, and applied to the research sample the scale of academic self-motivation with its paragraphs of (24) paragraphs, and the skill self-scale with its paragraphs of (22) paragraph, and the test of the offensive tactical handball shelf with its positions of (12) position, and appropriate statistical treatments were used to reach the results and the research came out with a set of conclusions, including the existence of a significant correlation between the skill self and the offensive tactical behavior with handball among students, and the derivation of a predictive equation through which the offensive tactical behavior of handball can be predicted in terms of academic self-motivation and self-skill for students, The research came out with a set of recommendations, including attention to the development of academic self-motivation and self-skill among students through the use of various programs and methods because of its significant impact on academic achievement, the adoption of the predictive equation for the purpose of anticipation of offensive tactical behavior handball for students.
