GAME SENSE APPROACH RATIONALE:

Why use a Game Sense Approach for Teaching Primary Physical Education Class?

Page 2: Presentation final slideshare

Game sense is a new approach to teaching physical education taken from the teaching games for understanding model (Mandigo, Holt, Anderson & Sheppared , 2008).

The teacher selects an activity and rather than instruct students what to do, asks open ended questions which stimulates thinking and allows the class to solve problems as they arise. This method of learning challenges students.

Game Sense is an approach in which the teacher utilises games as the focus of the lesson.

Student centred approach. It is about learning student’s learning as they play (Mandigo et al, 2008).

What is Game Sense?

GAME SENSE MODEL

This model represents how game sense is applied and

manifested in physical education

lessons.

Light, 2006

Game sense is supported through four types of categories:

1. Target: Golf, curling, archery and darts2. Striking: Basketball, cricket and

baseball.3. Invasion: Hockey, soccer, football, rugby. 4. Net and wall: volleyball, badminton and

squash(Light, 2006)

GAME SENSE FOUR CATEGORIES

By focusing on the game rather than technique students are forced to concentrate on the meaning of the ‘WHOLE’ game.

Propensity to develop thinking players. Motivation is developed through enjoyment

and fun for learning. The nature of the game is learnt first then as

student’s gain an understanding they incorporate skills.

Develops fundamental movement patterns and coordinated actions of the body.

Game Sense Rationale: Strengths as a Teaching Approach

Page 6: Presentation final slideshare

Throughout the game there is regular intervals where students are asked to stop and reflect. This gives them the opportunity to assess their strategies and tactics to make adjustments if necessary (Town, 2002).

Game sense develops skills such as leadership, planning trust and cooperative learning.

Life skills such as decision making and problem solving are enhanced through games sense.

Can accommodate varying ability levels through simple modification of the game maximising inclusion for all students (Town, 2002).

The Rationale Continued....

Page 7: Presentation final slideshare

Game sense is all about asking questions in order for students to provide immediate, meaningful feedback. Open ended questions are always uses as they promote thinking.

Examples of key questions:1. What is the purpose of the game?2. When should you....?3. Where should you....?4. Which option was best....? Why?5. How should you.....?Winter (2016).

LINKS TO PDHPE SYLLABUS GSS3.8: Applies movement skills in games and sports that require communication, corporation, decision making and observation of rules:• Participation in games and sports combining strategy, teamwork, movement skill and fair play.• Explains the rationale for particular strategies and rules in individual and team games and sports.• Combines a series of skills for use in a game, e.g. run, kick, catch and pass. • Develops strategies for effective teamwork• Identifies people who can help them improve their game and sports skills.

The PDHPE syllabus states that students should develop five essential skills which are as follows:1. Communicating2. Decision Making3. Interacting4. Moving5. Problem Solving

Game sense approach addresses all skill outcomes listed above.
