what teaching style dominates in PE lessons
direct teaching
what are the characteristics of direct teaching styles
structured
lots of feedback
demonstrations

what are three implications of too much direct teaching style
- children poor motor skills (transfer)
- little understanding / teaching support
- limited motivation for sport
what does the teaching games for understanding (TGFU) approach do and what is it kinda the opposite to
children learn via practice in modified games
kinda the opposite to direct learning approach
the TGFU approach teaches what
teach tactics first, then technique
what are benefits to the TGFU approach
- 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
what are two important things to consider with the TGFU approach
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
what are the similarities between the constraints led approach and the games for understanding approach
- holistic physical, mental, emotional
- individual differences
