Q

what are benefits to the TGFU approach

A
  • 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

Q

what are two important things to consider with the TGFU approach

A

important to know when to stand in and give feedback

16
Q

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

A

TGFU = improve understanding

constraints led approach = ecological dynamics

17
Q

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

A

TGFU = use of questioning important

constraints led approach = hasn’t really been emphasized

18
Q

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

A

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

19
Q

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

A

TGFU = tactics taught first

20
Q

what are the benefits to teaching through games (6)

A
  • tactics, then technique
  • games engage children
  • learner centred
  • no one “correct” way to move
  • hands off teaching
  • better skill transfer
21
Q

what are the challenges to teaching through games (5)

A
  • 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
22
Q

what are the 5 aspects to the move well program

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