Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) Approach. The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach was developed by researchers at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom to tap into children’s inherent desire to play.
Bunker and Thorpe (1982) developed TGfU around the concept of teaching kids games by playing games. Butler et al. (2008) identified six Basic TGfU Concepts: Teach games through games.Break games into their simplest format - then increase complexity.Participants are intelligent performers in games.Every learner is important and is involved.Participants need to know the subject matter.Need to match participants’ skill and challenge.
Recent approaches to TGfU have advocated for a thematic approach to teaching games. Rather than teaching sport-specific units (e.g., volleyball unit, soccer unit), children and youth gain skills and knowledge to apply to different sports by playing a variety of games associated with 4 game categories: These categories represent games and activities that are similar in structure. Curriculum Resources - TGfU.Info. School Sport Victoria. School Sport Victoria. Home. Curriculum Resources. The Australian Sports Commission, in conjunction with national sporting organisations and education professionals, has developed resources that are aligned to the Australian Curriculum.
The resources below have been developed for teachers and coaches to support student learning about health and physical activity. The ASC has an ongoing commitment to the development of curriculum aligned resources and will continue to assist sporting organisations with the production of relevant resources that teachers can use on a daily basis. Curriculum Aligned Resources The Australian Sports Commission has recently redeveloped the Playing for Life resources to align to the Australian Health and Physical Education Curriculum. They are designed for teachers to use every day - during class, at lunchtime or as part of their PE classes. There are over 140 Activity Cards that include information for teachers such as: Learning intention Skill focus Curriculum content descriptions Additional Learning Resources.

Health and Physical Education: Curriculum area advice Introducing the curriculum There is much that is similar between the Health and Physical Education in the Victorian Curriculum and AusVELS, although there are differences of emphasis.
The Victorian Curriculum Health and Physical Education has two interrelated strands: Personal, social and community health, and Movement and physical activity. This is similar to the dimensions in AusVELS, Health knowledge and promotion, and Movement and physical activity. The Victorian Curriculum further divides the strands into sub-strands. A new aspect of the Victorian Curriculum Health and Physical Education is the twelve focus areas. Alcohol and other drugsFood and nutritionHealth benefits of physical activityMental health and wellbeingRelationships and sexualitySafety Active play and minor gamesChallenge and adventure activitiesFundamental movement skillsGames and sportsLifelong physical activitiesRhythmic and expressive movement Presentation.
Health and Physical Education: Curriculum mapping templates. Back to Health and Physical Education: Curriculum-specific advice A mapping template has been developed to support teachers to identify where content descriptions and achievement standards are being explicitly addressed within the school’s teaching and learning program.
The files are designed to be completed electronically and saved for later use. To maintain the operation of the tick boxes, the file must be saved in Word 2010 (.docx) format. An annotated example is provided to assist teachers in visualising how the template could be completed. Please refer here: Curriculum mapping instructions (docx - 408.32kb) Templates Please note that due to the functionality incorporated into the template a short delay may be experienced when opening the file.
