Abstract

The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) is an important model for the physical education teaching in actuality, presenting obvious potentialities for the students’ development. However, the recent investment of research has focused on the games development or theory development and, because of this, additional factors of the model, such as the teaching styles or the type of question made by the teachers have received less theoretical development until now. Therefore, this paper proposes to examine the relevance of the teaching styles and questioning as pedagogical tools that provide real educational value to the TGfU.
