SEPEP

SEPEP is a model of teaching physical education that mimics the structure of organized sport. It gives students the opportunity to take on varied roles beyond just being players, helping them develop leadership, teamwork, and organizational skills. The key roles in SEPEP include the Coach, Captain, Umpire, statistician, timekeeper/scorer, equipment manager, media/reporter and manager. These roles encourage student ownership of their learning, promote responsibility, and help develop a wide range of personal and social skills, not just athletic ability.

 

Game based approach

The Game-Based Approach (GBA) is a teaching model in Physical Education that focuses on learning through playing games rather than just practicing isolated skills. It emphasizes understanding, decision-making, and tactical awareness within the context of the game. Some of the main benefits of the game based approach is the improved game sense, tactical thinking, development in teamwork and communication, enhanced engagement as well as making learning more inclusive and enjoyable. The game based approach helps to create players that are thinking players, players that can reflect on performance, what they did well and what they could improve on. This mindset can also be transferred into nearly anything in life, whether that be critiquing assignments before submission, reflecting on performance at work or just playing the sport you love.

 

TPSR

The Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model is a Physical Education approach that focuses on helping students develop not just physical skills, but also personal growth, responsibility, and respect for others.

Level 1: Respecting the Rights and Feelings of Others

-          Showing self-control and not interfering with others.

-          Listening and being safe during activities.

Level 2: Effort and Participation

-          Trying your best and staying involved, even when it’s hard.

Level 3: Self-Direction

-          Taking responsibility for your own learning.

-          Working independently and setting goals.

Level 4: Helping Others and Leadership

-          Supporting and encouraging classmates.

-          Taking on leadership roles in class.

Level 5: Outside the Gym – Transfer

-          Applying responsible behavior in life outside of PE (e.g., at home, in class, or in the community).

The TPSR model is a great way for teachers to outline lessons with their focus goals, and a great way for students to keep in mind what their developmental area is for the day. Not only this but students can recommend what they want to work on and reasons for that, allowing for personalised growth.
