The "Teaching Games for Understanding" (TGfU) approach is an instructional model that follows a problem-solving and game-centered approach for teaching sports and games.
Instead of starting with technical skills, TGfU uses modified or simplified games that capture the essential elements of that particular sport or event.
These modified games provide opportunities for the students to find solutions for the tactical problems, encouraging them to think critically and make decisions based on game situations.
Target games are those in whicht participants propels an object such as a ball with an intention to hit the target with accuracy. In some games there will be obstacles blocking the path of the object to stop them scoring points.
In these games, players send an object such a ball or shuttlecock into space over a net towards the opposite court or against a wall trying to make it difficult for the opponent to return it. The objective is to force the opponent to make errors.
The aim of the game is to strike an object/ball and running in the specified area to score points. The defenders have to retrieve the object/ball and return it to stop the play and prevent the opposite team scoring points.
Invasion games involves two or more players chase the opponents to tag them or invade opponent's territory to score points. It requires anticipation and quick deceptive movements to avoid opponents.
Here, the participants work individually with their own equipment and execute different skills to score points and win the game. Sometimes the activities involve participants interact with others.
The game's fundamental rules are explained to the learners. They watch and analyse the game, pointing out crucial components, tactics, and strategies.
Using adapted games, students investigate various tactics and techniques. They are urged to try new things, make choices, and evaluate the results.
By participating in small-sided games or game-like settings that mimic real game scenarios, learners hone their decision-making abilities. They encounter difficulties and develop skillful responses.
Once students have a firm grasp of game ideas and judgement, technical skills are presented and practiced inside the framework of the game. Instead of being separated from the game itself, skills are acquired to improve performance in the game
Performance: Students apply their understanding, tactical awareness, decision-making, and skills in full game situations. or you
