When a physical education teacher wants to use the teaching models used in Physical Education pedagogy in his/her lesson, how does he/she choose which model? What do they pay attention to for model selection?
Choosing the most appropriate teaching model in Physical Education classes should take into account several factors, such as pedagogical goals, student profiles, the content to be taught, and the available resources. There are different teaching models, and each one emphasizes different aspects of learning.
If the focus of the class is the technical development of specific motor skills, the traditional model may be more suitable, as it emphasizes repetition and correct execution of movements. On the other hand, the tactical model, or game-centered approach, is ideal when the goal is to develop decision-making, game understanding, and students' strategic thinking.
When the aim is to promote values such as cooperation, respect, and empathy, the cooperative model can be more effective, as it proposes group activities that focus on teamwork and inclusion. The personalized teaching model is appropriate when the goal is to respect students’ individual pace and interests, encouraging autonomy and active participation in learning.
In addition, it's possible to combine two or more teaching models over time, forming hybrid approaches that better suit the class’s needs. A conscious choice of model allows Physical Education classes to be more meaningful, engaging, and tailored to students’ realities.
Thank you Rebecca. For example, the child's cognitive skills are weak and we want to improve the child's cognitive skills? For example, it has been found many times in the literature that all 3 teaching models have positive contributions to the development of cognitive skills. How should we choose which model this time?
