PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING GAMES FOR UNDERSTANDING AND NONLINEAR PEDAGOGY IN THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHING

Abstract

The ecological teaching models of Physical Education distinguished by their student-centered teaching. Specifically, the Teaching Games for Understanding and the Nonlinear Pedagogy are models that allow a learning process based on the intrinsic dynamics of sports games, distinguished for their relevance to the development of students' declarative and procedural tactical knowledge. However, as recent models, need to be properly understood and geared towards to the efficient didactic intervention. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to develop the pedagogical principles that underlie the models: i) sampling; ii) representation; iii) exaggeration; and iv) tactical complexity. In summary, will described the essential pedagogical principles that should underpin the teaching intervention of physical education teacher at the time of applied the teaching ecological models.
