Authors Ray Breed and Michael Spittle, long recognized as experts
in the game sense model and teaching games for understanding
approach, have created a complete resource for physical educators
and coaches of games and team sports. Their new book, Developing
Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport, provides both the
theoretical foundation and the practical application that teachers
and coaches need to confidently teach their students and athletes
the skills and game sense they need to successfully compete in
games and sports. This text, inspired by the authors' previous
book, Developing Game Sense Through Tactical Learning, offers new
material since the publication of that 2011 book, particularly in
relation to curriculum, assessment, and physical literacy. "Our
version of a game sense model has been modified over time and
adjusted to meet the changing needs and requirements of learners
and programs," Breed says. "This book is an updated and improved
variation of our original book, and it will assist teachers and
coaches in integrating game sense into their sessions and
curricula." Through Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and
Sport, teachers and coaches will be able to do the following:
Provide a logical sequence and step-by-step instructions for
maximal learning, skill transfer, and game skill development
Accelerate learning by linking technical, tactical, and strategic
similarities in three thematic game categories (There are 19
invasion games, 13 striking and fielding games, and 14 net and wall
games.) Save preparation and planning time by using the extensive
planning and game implementation resources Set up games with ease
and effectively relate game sense concepts by following the 90
illustrations and diagrams created for those purposes The text
includes curriculum ideas and specific units for children ages 8 to
16. Unit plan chapters provide six sessions for each of the two
skill levels (easy to moderate and moderate to difficult). The book
also offers assessment tools and guidance for measuring learning as
well as links to different curriculum frameworks. The appendixes
supply teachers and coaches with useful tools, including score
sheets, performance assessment and self-assessment tools, session
plan outlines, and more. Developing Game Sense in Physical
Education and Sport takes into account regional differences in the
game sense model and teaching games for understanding approach. Its
organization will facilitate users' ready application of the
material. The text first provides an overview and theoretical
framework of the concepts of skill, skill development, game sense,
and assessment. It then goes on to explore the links between
fundamental motor skills, game sense, and physical literacy. Later
chapters offer thematic unit and lesson plans as well as assessment
ideas. Practical resources, game ideas and descriptions, and
assessment ideas are supplied, along with the practical application
of game sense, teaching for skill transfer, structuring games,
developing questioning techniques, and organizing sessions.
Developing Game Sense in Physical Education and Sport will allow
coaches and teachers to develop the tactical, technical, and
strategic skills their athletes and students need in game contexts.
Coaches and teachers will also be able to help learners develop
personal, social, and relationship skills. As a result, learners
will be able to more effectively participate in, and enjoy, team
games.
