HOW DOES TRADITIONAL PE TEACHING AND TGfU DIFFER?

Some research has suggested that students who are taught using the TGfU model, develop a more holistic appreciation for games and are more intrinsically motivated in activities that involve decision making and tactics.
This colorful PE Poster examines 6 different teaching episodes from both the Traditional Physical Education Teaching and for Teaching Games for Understanding Model. Sharp text and graphics combine to make the poster exciting , “kid-friendly” and relevant!
