The document discusses the game sense approach to teaching physical education. It focuses on developing students' strategic thinking and cognitive skills beyond just sport techniques. The approach encourages productive instructional strategies from both teachers and students to enhance skills. It also emphasizes social interaction and the cognitive aspects of sports. The game sense approach makes learning goals clear and allows students to explore fundamental skills in a more explicit way.
This describes what a Game Sense approach is and its strengths in adopting it as a teaching strategy for PDHPE. It also provides additional references should you require further information.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Games sense is a modern approach that teach ‘good sport’ through developing
students strategic and thinking skills (Pill, 2011). The approach challenges
traditional coaching method that solely focus on sport technique rather than
students’ development in sports.
It focuses on the context of the game and direct in its approach. It encourages both
students and teachers to be productive in their instructional strategy, hence both
parties had a mutual understanding that the learning is necessary to enhance
their skills (Pill, 2011).
It enhance fundamental learning skills due to its attention to detail to game
context and content. When fundamental motor skills are develop in game sense
approach, it reflect a degree of learning which the individual exposed (Miller,
2006).
3. The involvement of active social interactions in game sense approach also bring
positive aspect on students, as they are more likely to be engage in sport. (Pill,
2011)
Game sense approach bring the ideas that sport is not only involves physical
aspect but also the cognitive aspect of it.
Games sense is complex and involves thought-process and strategy. However, this
complexity built through many steps and brings awareness that sport skills is
beyond physical, motor, movement aspect (Pill, 2011). It rather bring attention
that ‘good’ and ‘quality’ sport involves players’ cognitive development, thus
exceptional sport players have adequate decision making ability (Pill, 2011)
Due to game sense approach nature being very explicit in their teaching, it allows
students to further explore and enhance students’ fundamental skills (Miller,
2006).
4. The most common game sense approach is the ‘small side’ approach. The approach
usually uses less students/players in the game to go through different rules and
strategies. It build understandings and strategies about the game in a more
explicitly way, enabling students to be more immerse and develop cognitive skills
whilst playing sport.
Furthermore, when game sense approach is conducted the aim and the learning
intention is always clear and oriented, which narrow down the focus of the lesson
and allow both students and teachers to have a set of goal during the learning
experience.
5. One of the key learning area in the PDHPE syllabus is to develop physical, social,
cognitive and emotional growth during the process of PDHPE learning experience
(BOSTES, 2007). The nature of game sense allow teacher, students and also their
peers to connect and interact in a more interpersonal level. The genuine
interaction enables students to develop social, physical and cognitive growth in
their learning experience.
As previously mentioned, one of the main purpose of game sense approach is to
develop students ‘cognitive’ and thinking skills. In order for them to experience
quality learning and gain sport skills, successful game sense approach turns
students to be a good sport with informed decision making. Decision making is
vital in sport as it effect their result in game but also affect their mental and
cognitive development. Hence, developing decision making skills is beneficial for
all students particularly in sport.
