Proudly, Game Sense was developed in our backyard! At the Australian Sports
Commission in response to increased accountability to deliver high quality teaching
(curry, 2011)
This vision includes optimum learning environments to Nourish physical, social,
cognitive and emotional development. Game sense approach cares J
Providing pathways to directly meets these noble standards that all our kids deserve.
The Game Sense approach optimally centers on student learning and wellbeing.
Game sense encourages students to develop their own understanding, technical
skill and tactical awareness whilst being actively involved in the Game
(Curry,2011).
We acknowledge this paradigm shift with the emphasis back on providing kids
with positive physical education…. And not on the rigidity and stress of
mastering technique before we play…remember that…No way!
The focus is student-centered, and inquiry-based learning.
In game sense the teacher fosters a valuable learning environment by creating
opportunities for student learning yet does not determine it (curry, 2011).
It Values kids thinking and problem solving skills.
Game sense encourages students to ask questions and find resolutions collaboratively.
This fulfills the PDHPE Core syllabus skills;
‘communicating, problem solving, decision making and interacting’ (BOSTES, 2014).
Game Sense is committed to the diversity of our learners!
Game sense modifies games to incorporate tactical structures which are adaptable and
cater for varied abilities (Curry, 2011).
Game sense is inclusive and delights in participation, creativity and fun and its
overarching intent is on ‘human growth’(Light, 2013). Research supports most kids play
sport to interact, connect, have fun and be a part of something(Light, 2011).
They shone the light and we are listening!
Games designed to be adaptive and modified by the students themselves.
Encourage ownership and active participation enabling the development of emotional
and social needs of the students (Light, 2011). Less stress on techniques and mastery so
kids can participate! After all its participation that provides the opportunities to develop
skills….right!
Game sense fosters positive co-constructive learning environments, like Teaching games for
understanding. The context is inclusive and strategies have collective purpose and
negotiation(Light, 2011). Like the game ‘Liilipad’ that encourages collective workmanship
to cross the stream without leaving our mates behind, but we only have limited Lilipads to
work with.
Games for understanding value communication, decision making and problem solving as a
social inclusive activity whilst encouraging student autonomy. These opportunities fosters
meaningful cognitive and social emotional learning in authentic contexts of play that
contribute to student wellbeing!
Game sense aligns with PDHPE curriculum to develop ‘Knowledge,
Understanding and practical skills that lead to better health’(BOSTES, 2014). Of
course fun and exciting experiences in PDHPE will contribute to the students
developing a commitment to their own vitality and health long term! The PDHPE
learning environment recognised the importance of developing skills and
competence from a variety of inclusive approaches including play, recreational
activities, games, and sports (BOSTES, 2014).
Game sense fosters a ‘participatory teaching approach’ (Ajayi, 2013) with its
orientation toward fun and positive experience. These opportunities are imperative
in establishing students lifelong commitment to a healthy and active life (BOSTES,2014).
