Study of Curriculum and Planning in Sports

Abstract

Learning and learning games and sports activities have been the main type of physical education curriculum historically. Sport Education is arguably the most advanced and studied educational approach globally in providing students with meaningful and culturally placed sports experience. While there is much evidence that the model may enhance the development of social objectives and healthy athletic behaviours, there has never been a single research which examines the development of students' gameplay beyond involvement in one or more separate instructional units. The aim of this research was thus to evaluate the growth of game performance and game participation by students over three consecutive sport educational seasons of invasion games.
