What is Models-based Practice

Models-based practice is a transformative approach to physical education that involves using different pedagogical models and units of work, each model/unit with its own characteristics and learning outcomes that are designed to meet multiple educational goals (Casey, 2014; Casey and Kirk, 2024).

This is different to traditional physical education as that is an approach that is multi-activity and uses sport-technique based programs (Casey and Kirk, 2020).

Models-based practice is used as a tool to shift the focus from a one fits all traditional approach to a more pedagogical approach that is tailored to the individual (Casey and Kirk, 2024).

My experience of using the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model

Image
My first experience of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU):   My experience of using Teaching Games for understanding started off with some basic training in the model such as learning about the pedagog ical theory behind it and the basic principles and structure of the model, research literature shows that this is the first step that teachers g o through in the hope of them then being able to deliver the model correctly (Wang and Wang , 2018). We then went onto experience a lesson from the student's perspective as our lecturer planned a practical that follows the model which helped to me to start to understand how the model would look in real life. The literature tells us that many preservice teachers find it helpful to see their peers/teachers teach the model before they teach it which links to my experience with TGfU (Parkes and Hemphill, 2023; Joyce et al., 2014; Chatoupis , 2 017). Our lecturer planned the lesson on an invasion game in order to help us to feel mor...

My experience of using the Teaching personal and social responsibility (TPSR) model

Image
My first experience of using the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model: My first experience of the teaching personal and social responsibility model came when my lecturer took us through a practical lesson following th e structure of TPS R , with us starting on the first level (respect for the rights and feelings of others ) progressing up to the final level (transfer for outside of PE) ( Hellison , 201 1; Metzler, 2017 ). However, this seems to be uncommon fo r preservice teachers to experience a practical example of the TPSR model as many lack knowledge, e xperience and understanding of the model (Martinek and Lee, 2012; Stran et al., 2012; Nieves et al., 2021 ). After this practical example, we then went into a lecture where I learnt about the basic struc ture and components that underpin the TPSR model, which is similar to most preservice teachers as research shows that everyone goes through basic training in th e model before being required to deliver lessons...

Benefits and Drawbacks of using Models-based Practice

Image
Benefits:   Teaching using Models-based Practice has multiple benefits such as creating a better educational experience for the students to enjoy (Casey and Kirk, 2020) . Teaching this with more individual student-centred approaches will bui ld better foundations for lifelong healthy living (Ennis 2014; Casey and Kirk, 2020). A further benefit of this approach is that it is more inclusive to all students than the classic approach which it has been documented that mainly white , able-bodied , high socio-economic background students excel (Standal, 2015 ; Casey and Kirk, 2020 ). Teaching using models-based practice takes into consideration different bodies, and physical ability levels to be able to provide a higher standard of physical education than what is currently being taught in schools (Standal, 2015, McGlashan and Fitzpatrick , 2017) . Finally, models-based practice will allow for more compe tency in sports as the students will be able to move at their own pace and not have ...
