B03 RE-THINKING THE 4-GAME CLASSIFICATION FRAMEWORK
For a while now HPE has been somewhat fixated on the 4-Game classification frame as a basis for models-and games-based approaches (invasion; net/wall; striking/fielding; target games). Consequently, teachers can find themselves teaching competitive tactics in net-wall games to learners who may not be that interested and likely won't use them outside of PE. The way people participate in sport globally has been changing for some time, COVID has accelerated that change and HPE needs to catch up. This presentation unpacks participation trends and argues for an expansion of sport classification that opens HPE up to more meaningful learning opportunities.
