Influence of Teaching Games for Understanding on Game Performance, Knowledge, and Variables Related to Adherence in Youth Sailing

Abstract

Purpose:To determine whether a TGfU intervention improved participants’ decision-making, skill execution, game performance, game involvement, game knowledge, enjoyment, perceived competence, and intention to continue practicing sailing.Method:Participants were 19 sailors (age: M = 8.44, SD = 1.24 years old). This study followed a mixed-methods approach. The children participated in 12 TGfU intervention sessions and 2 prepost assessment sessions. We designed and validated the sessions, and the coach was trained in TGfU. Data were collected using GPAI during an Olympic triangle race, an ad hoc knowledge questionnaire, two psychological scales, and interviews of children and coach.Results:Statistically significant improvements were found in decision-making, Δ = 3.97, skill execution, Δ = .43, game performance, Δ = 5.34, and game involvement, Δ = 7.89.Discussion/Conclusion:The results support TGfU may serve to sail training in youth sport. Sailing coaches now have a teaching-learning framework that determines “what” and “how” the tasks must be, the feedback, and participant and coach behavior.

Algorithm of athletes’ fitness structure individual features’ determination with the help of multidimensional analysis (on example of basketball)

“…In athletes' training great importance is assigned to the following: optimization of physical load [18,19] and conscious fulfillment of physical exercises [27,29,35]; consideration of didactic laws of training process's construction [3]; choosing of adequate tests for athletes' fitness [16,20]; consideration of models of coach's (pedagogue's) interconnection with athletes [15,28]; substantiation of individual training models' construction [12,13] and criteria of successfulness in competition activity [14,31]; influence of physical qualities on athletes' workability [30,33].…”

PEMAHAMAN KONSEP BERMAIN SISWA MOTORIK TINGGI DAN RENDAH DENGAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN TEACHING GAME for UNDERTANDING (TGfU)

“…Terhadap kenaikan denyut nadi, ternyata TGfU lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan drill (Nathan, 2017) Hal ini memberikan keterangan bahwa model pembelajaran ini intensitasnya lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan drill. Penelitian lain memberikan bukti kedua bahwa model TGfU akan meningkatkan kemampuan pengambilan keputusan, eksekusi, keterlibatan dalam permainan, pengetahuan permainan, kesenangan bermain, capaian kompetensi dan keinginan untuk selalu latihan (Morales-Belando & Arias-Estero, 2017).…”

“…Lebih lanjut kaitan dengan penerapan model pembelajaran TGfU, masih sangat sedikit. Model pembelajaran ini memancing guru dan siswa agar proses pembelajaran selalu menentukan apa dan bagaimana sebuah tugas diseslesaikan, pemberian umpan balik, keterlibatan aktif dari pelatihn dan atlet (Morales-Belando & Arias-Estero, 2017). Sesi positif model pembelajaran ini adalah keterlibatan semua orang yang terlibat, guru, siswa, atau pelatih dan atlet.…”

Adaptación práctica del enfoque Teaching Games for Understanding para la enseñanza de la vela en iniciación (A practical proposal of Teaching Games for Understanding in sailing initiation)

“…Esta propuesta de enseñanza-aprendizaje está plenamente justificada en vela, dado el alto componente de incertidumbre que presenta el deporte, como consecuencia de la presencia de compañeros, adversarios y las características del contexto (Morales-Belando & Arias-Estero, 2017a, 2017bSaury & Durand, 1998). Según la literatura, la enseñanza de vela suele utilizar una metodología que descontextualiza los aprendizajes (Renom, 2006).…”

“…Este es el primer trabajo que muestra a profesores, entrenadores o investigadores cómo aplicar el TGfU en la enseñanza de la vela en detalle. Dicha propuesta fue fundamentada sobre trabajos anteriores (Morales-Belando & Arias-Estero, 2017a, 2017b2017c)…”
