Answer 2

being able to do things later in life

Question 3

what teaching style dominates in PE lessons

Answer 3

direct teaching

Question 4

what are the characteristics of direct teaching styles

Answer 4

structured

lots of feedback

demonstrations

Question 5

what are 3 reasons why direct teaching styles dominate in PE lessons

Answer 5

• gives them understanding of what to do
• assessment
• safety

Question 6

what are the characteristics of indirect teaching styles

Answer 6

discovery

allowing the children to play and find for themselves

Question 7

what do indirect teaching styles allow the child to do more

Answer 7

learn more on their own

Question 8

traditional PE teaching is technique dominated, what is meant by this

Answer 8

“how before why”
- technique taught before tactics

Question 9

research is found that what % of the time PE lessons use direct teaching styles

Answer 9

up to 80% of the time

Question 10

what are three implications of too much direct teaching style

Answer 10

• children poor motor skills (transfer)
• little understanding / teaching support
• limited motivation for sport

Question 11

what does the teaching games for understanding (TGFU) approach do and what is it kinda the opposite to

Answer 11

children learn via practice in modified games

kinda the opposite to direct learning approach

Question 12

the TGFU approach teaches what

Answer 12

teach tactics first, then technique

Question 13

what are benefits to the TGFU approach

Answer 13

• children have a better understanding why they might do things
• they are more likely to be able to adapt the movement pattern on their own

Question 14

what are two important things to consider with the TGFU approach

Answer 14

important to know when to stand in and give feedback

encouraging children to come up with their own answers instead of giving them to them

Question 15

what are the similarities between the constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach

Answer 15

• holistic physical, mental, emotional
• individual differences
• hands off teaching
• design of environment

Question 16

what is different about the overall aim in the constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach

Answer 16

TGFU = improve understanding

constraints led approach = ecological dynamics

Question 17

what is different about the use of questioning in the constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach

Answer 17

TGFU = use of questioning important

constraints led approach = hasn’t really been emphasized

Question 18

what is different in the skill progressions in constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach

Answer 18

constraints led approach = important to understand the skill level that the learner is at for skill progression

Question 19

what is the difference of the emphasis on tactical principles in constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach

Answer 19

TGFU = tactics taught first

Question 20

what are the benefits to teaching through games (6)

Answer 20

• tactics, then technique
• games engage children
• learner centred
• no one “correct” way to move
• hands off teaching
• better skill transfer

Question 21

what are the challenges to teaching through games (5)

Answer 21

• can take time
• better children possibly get more from it than less skill
• challenging to control
• need to know the constraints well
• needs effective questioning

Question 22

what are the 5 aspects to the move well program

Answer 22

1. play games
2. design game contexts
3. use good pedagogy
4. foster personal, social, and cultural identity
5. develop game playing ability
