The teaching games for understanding (TGFU) method is a learner and game centred approach to sport related games.TGFU values the role of the teacher as a facilitator and the learner as active and involved in the process. A tactical problem uses modified games, which simplify both tactics and technique by reducing space, increasing time, and using modified equipment to introduce the major principles of the whole game to learners.
Two great articles on this method are http://books.google.ca/books?id=3OmCjmk-MEoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=teaching+games+for+understanding&source=bl&ots=abhhvLq9zJ&sig=79VDZjPeXw40NUEoQZlNVvGu49o&hl=en&ei=Lt_DTLWQDo2qsAPkwpmkDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDgQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false and http://education2.uvic.ca/Faculty/thopper/WEB/articles/Advante/TGFUmotorlearn.pdf
I have had a problem with understanding this method and will be looking at more information through the week I hope to make 3 more posts to try and understand this method, most of the research i have done seems to lead me in a circle or have words that switch back and forth
You will get more info on Wed... to help you understand it better. Well done
