The document discusses Game Sense, an approach used in physical education classrooms. Game Sense focuses on using game-like activities to develop students' skills in an enjoyable way rather than repetitive drills. It aims to develop students' technique, decision-making, critical thinking and tactical skills through modified games. This student-centered approach contrasts with traditional methods that focused on perfecting skills individually before applying them in games, which failed to meet all learning outcomes. Game Sense engages students in modified games to develop both physical and cognitive skills while encouraging reflection to improve participation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. What is Game Sense Approach?
Game sense contextualises learning through games
or game like activities.
It is a student-centered approach as it places the
needs and abilities of players before the importance
of the game.
A systematic coaching approach
which focuses on the enjoyment
of games rather than the acquisition
of technique.
The game sense approach focuses
on the idea that technique is
developed through play.
(Pill, 2011)
3. Traditional Approach
Previously, teaching practices in PDHPE revolved
heavily around developing physical skill while decision-
making and tactical understanding skills were
neglected.
Such approaches are unqualified in developing
intellectual competencies of critical thinking skills in
sport (Cushion, 2003).
The approach involved practicing skill and technique
repeatedly until perfected before applying in a game
situation.
Such techniques have failed to cover all aspects of
syllabus outcomes.
(Pill, 2011)
4. The Rationale of Game Sense
Game Sense was developed in order to steer from traditional forms of teaching,
which proved to be ineffective in covering all PDHPE syllabus outcomes
effectively. As traditional forms of teaching focused solely on the acquisition of skill
prior to application through game, students lacked development in decision-
making and tactile awareness skills.
The Game Sense approach targets various aspects of the Personal Development,
Health and Physical Education, Primary K-6 Syllabus as it places game-like
environments at the center of learning and development. Through this students
develop communication, decision-making, interacting, moving and problem
solving skills while developing an appreciation for physical activity and its
importance to personal health. Through the Game Sense approach students
develop creativity in performance and motivation to exceed whilst acquiring new
skills and technique. It also promotes deeper understanding, generates tactile
awareness and develops independent decision-making skills.
As a teaching approach, Game Sense focuses on the students, physical, social
and intellectual skills. It allow teaching to use purposeful questioning to guide
student discovery and then understanding of game performance. Students are
encouraged to reflect on their participation in order to progress in play.
(Pill, 2011)
5. Benefits of Game Sense
Engages students in minor and modified game
strategies and concepts where development of
both skill and understanding of tactics of the game
are included.
Encourages simple modifications to accommodate
varied abilities.
Maximises student inclusion.
Modified game rules- to teach a specific aspects
of a game. E.g. invasion sport.
Promotes development of ‘thinking’ skills.
(Light, 2012, 2013)
(Pill, 2011)
6. What is Purposeful Questioning?
The aim of Game Sense Approach and purposeful
questioning is to develop understanding, skills, values
and attitudes in each student to lead healthy and active
lifestyles.
I. What was the aim of the game?
II. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the
game?
III. What skills did you use when playing?
IV. What have you learned about physical education
throughout the game?
V. What are some concepts you have learned
throughout the game?
