Games-based approaches to health and physical education

In this unit you will develop knowledge, skills and understanding related to games-based approaches, and ‘Game Sense’ or ‘Teaching Games for Understanding’ in particular. You will have an opportunity to use this approach to teach different types of games. You will examine how the Game Sense approach supports learning and development, and gain an appreciation of how to utilise different strategies for differentiation. In addition, you will learn how to incorporate in a meaningful way, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander/First People's histories, cultures and languages into your delivery of sports and games. You will learn how to plan and deliver activities with challenging learning goals in a safe, structured, sequential way.
