OVERWIEV

  • Teaching Games for Understanding in general
  • TGfU step by step
  • Conclusion of the whole approach
But first I want to tell you why I picked this topic
- monialaisten esimerkki

"The presentation today is divided into three parts. First, I’ll… Following that I’ll... Finally, I’ll"

TGfU in a nutshell

  • Method for teaching PE
  • Child-centered approach
  • Bunker & Thorpe (1982)
"Sports have traditionally been taught using the skill and drill or progressive part method. Sports are broken down into their component skills and these are then taught. This technical approach, developed after World War 2, taught the skills isolated from the game and then the skills and the game are put back together."

This method assumes there is only one right way to perform a skill, but we know from observation of elite sportspeople that frequently they don’t kick the ball or swing the racquet like the ideal model. Successful sport athletes often do not have perfect stylized technique, frequently having individual technique differences and successful unorthodoxies. The other problem with this technical approach is that the thinking and problem solving aspects required for successful game performance are not central to the initial learning as the technical requirements are isolated from the game in skill drills.

The nature of the game is taught first, and the skills are added at a pace manageable by the participants.

Instead of “How is this skill performed?” Teaching Games for Understanding begins with a different style of question: “Why are we doing this? and “How can we do it better?

From "How is this skill performed" to "Why are we doing this?" and "How can we do it better?"

"HOW DOES IT WORK THEN?"

  • Game Form
  • Game Appreciation
  • Tactical Awareness
  • Decision making
  • Skill Execution
  • Performance
- this is how it goes in practise

-Next I am going to go this through section by section to make it more clear what this all is about. The numbers doesnt mean you go on for example lesson by lesson, but you can move back and forward with different aproaches

"The process is a cyclical one with participants continuing to adapt and change as needed for the best playing experience."

1. GAME FORM

  • modifications of the formal game
  • specific objects

2. GAME APPRECIATION

  • understanding how the rules, skills and strategies all influence each other
"When do we get to play the game?!!" - Immedietly

3. TACTICAL AWARENESS

  • developing understanding of common elements of games and tactics needed for success

4. DECISION MAKING

  • learning and practising making decisions in action, in response to different situations

5. SKILL EXECUTION

  • identifying and practising the skills needed to improve play
  • refining the current skill level

6. PERFORMANCE

  • putting it all together, applying the skills, decision-making and tactics in game situations
  • making the modified game more representative of the formal game

"STEP BY STEP - AGAIN"

  • Game Form
  • Game Appreciation
  • Tactical Awareness
  • Decision making
  • Skill Execution
  • Performance
- this is how it goes in practise

"Of course our study cannot conclusively say
that... "

Of course this is not a miracle making approach, nothing is. But because one of the goals of teaching physical education is to get the students move, this will do it right from the start!

Thank you for your attention!
