As games are an important aspect of physical education, this book provides educators with current research and a conceptualization model for teaching games for understanding (TGfU). By exploring the learner's development of games knowledge, improvements in games teaching and learning occur. The book presents teaching and learning games at various levels. It also addresses the role of assessment in teaching games for understanding as well as integration of cooperative learning and tactical game models. Examples of teachers implementing TGfU illustrate the success of this model. This resource is a solid support for deeper understanding related to target games, striking/fielding games, net/wall games and invasion/territorial games. Included are a table of contents and an index.--Ministry of Education website.
