This week I wanted to address a situation that is related to my inquiry. \u00a0As stated two weeks ago I planned to test my inquiry question out on my PE 10 class. \u00a0What I thought worked well was allowing students to create their own activities\/drills\/games in my volleyball unit. \u00a0However, there seems to be reluctance from the students to want to try the TGFU model of teaching. \u00a0The TGFU model that I tried implementing was creating mini games for students to learn game concepts. \u00a0I am finding it difficult to implement my inquiry because it is about motivation and the TGFU seems to be demotivating a very motivated group of students. \u00a0I plan to try a different approach to my upcoming unit of basketball in two weeks. \u00a0What I plan to do is to have the students to get into teaching groups and to teach each other the skills and rules necessary to play the game. \u00a0I will shorten each unit to one week and each day will look as follows:<\/p>\n
Monday – explanation of expectations, dividing class into 6 groups, assigning topics to each group, work in class to create 20 minute lessons<\/p>\n
Tuesday – groups 1 and 2 teach (total of 40 minutes teaching time), last 20ish minutes of class is scrimmage time<\/p>\n
Wednesday –\u00a0groups 3 and 4 teach (total of 40 minutes teaching time), last 20ish minutes of class is scrimmage time<\/p>\n
Thursday –\u00a0groups 5 and 6 teach (total of 40 minutes teaching time), last 20ish minutes of class is scrimmage time<\/p>\n
Friday – whole class game play<\/p>\n
Instead of being evaluated on how they do their skills, I will mark them on their understanding of the skills by what they teach to the class.<\/p>\n
I think that the UBC inquiry classes have not prepared me well enough to try and implement it into practice. \u00a0I feel like I need more guidance and flexibility to try different models of teaching before deciding on what my inquiry question should be. \u00a0I felt like they really forced us to pick a teaching models even before we begin to do actual inquiry. \u00a0I would like to have had the opportunity to try many teaching methods and models to come to my own conclusions before deciding to choose TGFU or inventing games models as my main focus. \u00a0Of course I will continue to try these models, but now I feel like my inquiry is not going well and I may have to change my inquiry question.<\/p>\n
