Game Sense in PE focuses on the cognitive aspects of games like tactics rather than skills. It emphasizes student understanding of games and problem solving within game contexts. Some benefits are that it keeps students active while developing decision making and physical literacy skills. Game Sense links to the PE syllabus by applying skills like movement, problem solving, and decision making within modified games.

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.

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.

WHAT IS GAME SENSE?
Game sense places emphasis on cognitive aspects of a game like tactical
understanding and awareness instead of the levels of skill and technique of
the players.
Game Sense makes learning new games more engaging and meaningful for
students by placing games into easy to understand contexts.
Although the emphasis of Game Sense is on students’ cognitive development,
skill and technique remains at its core. The only difference between Game
Sense and the traditional “teacher-led” approach is that skill/technique and
cognitive development is being taught at the same time.
Game Sense provides students with opportunities to evaluate their
performance in a game.
(Truong, 2014)

4. Game Sense in PE
The first step in Game Sense is for students to
understand the procedure of the game.
Students then recognise the problems in the
game that require solving.
Students then develop a deeper understanding of
the game and the rules that shape it.
Students then incorporate movement principles
to develop their own tactics.
Once students are comfortable in executing
tactics in the context of the game, they are then
moved onto “technical instruction”.
(Towns, 2002)

WHAT IS TGfU?
TGfU is an acronym for Teaching Games for Understanding and refers to a
learner-centred approach to teaching that highlights the learners’ needs,
understandings of the game and capabilities (Truong, 2014).
When using TGfU, games fall under one of four categories which were formed
based on connections in their structure and the skills used (Ellis, 1983):
Target games – eg. Darts and Golf
Striking games – eg. Baseball and Cricket
Net/Wall games – eg. Badminton and Volleyball
Invasion/Territorial games – eg. Soccer and Rugby (Mandigo, 2007)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GAME SENSE WHEN TEACHING PE?
Apart from keeping students moving and active throughout the PE lesson,
Game Sense fosters motivation within participants of all skill levels as games
can be modified by the teacher when needed (Truong, 2014).
Decision making skills are fostered through Game Sense which is a vital life
skill and an imperative asset in order to function in a variety of situations
(Mandigo, 2007).
The Game Sense approach encourages physical literacy in students
(Whitehead, 2001). Physical literacy refers to cognitive skills such as:
decision making
problem solving
perception of the environment around them
anticipation of potential “patterns of play” (Mandigo, 2007).

HOW DOES GAME SENSE LINK TO THE SYLLABUS?
The Game Sense approach is still relatively new to teaching and uses games
as the main focus of the lessons. In keeping the focus of the lesson on
games as opposed to skills, students fell less pressure and are more inclined
to apply tactical awareness and strategy.
Skills from the Syllabus that are applied in the Games Sense approach
include:
Moving – Students learn to move effectively in response to different
games
Problem-solving – Students learn this by observing problems, identifying
solutions and applying them in the right context
Communicating – Students learn to express their feelings and ideas
effectively
Interacting – Students learn from one another and co operate in games
Decision-making – Students use tactical skills and anticipation skills and
apply them to the games
