  1. Teaching Games for Understanding

  2. Teaching Games for Understanding • Origins with Bunker and Thorpe model • Six stages • Modified game play • Game appreciation • Tactical Awareness • Appropriate Decisions • Skill Practice • Game play to determine effectiveness of game play

  3. Current TGFU model • Game play sets problem • Establishes the motivation for practice • Skill practice solves problem • Closing game extends solutions • Did practice solutions solve the problem?

  4. Transfer of Tactics • Common problems to solve • Transfer of tactical solutions and concepts within and across the game categories • Invasion games • Net/wall games • Striking/fielding games • Target games

  5. Tactical Games Model • Tactical frameworks:provides the scope & sequence of content • Identifies tactical problems & solutions in the form of decisions • Scope • On-the-ball skills • Off-the-ball movements • Sequence • Game complexity • Complexity increases as game grows

  6. Game complexity • Learning of concepts & skills progresses across the sequence of learning • Identify various levels of game play • Leads to progressively more decisions by the student as level progresses

  7. Emphasis of Standards within Teaching Games for Understanding Reference:  Moving into the Future: National Standards for Physical Education, 2nd ed. (2004), p. 11

  8. Benefits • Increased time in game play • Motivational and enjoyable • Strong link between skills and games • Students value skill practice • Application and performance of skills • Tactical components

  9. Negatives • Focus on competition may not be eliminated • Game playing may not be enjoyable to some students • Opportunities to participate may be limited to poor teaching resources; not all may participate in small groups

  10. Sample Unit and Lessons • Tactical problem = Lesson focus • Goal of game drives lesson objectives • Questions to game problems shape solutions • Units structured by • Individual game • Thematically by game category • Invasion, net, striking/fielding, target

  11. Game Questions Help teachers • Link lesson goal to game play • Shape skill practice • Assess during closure

  12. Assessment of Student Learning • Integral, ongoing, and embedded • Records process of play and/or outcome • GPAI: Game Performance Assessment Instrument • Rubric to assess components of game play • Enables holistic assessment of • On-ball skills • Off-ball movements • Support play • Decision making
