Games Pedagogy
Professor David Kirk gave a keynote address to the 6th International Teaching Games for Understanding Conference held at the German Sports University in Cologne 25-27 July.
The title of Professor Kirk's presentation was "Is Teaching Games for Understanding a model only test pilots can fly? Teacher-coach development in games-centred approaches".
His response to this question is that 'ordinary' teachers and coaches can use GFfU successfully, but they never will use this approach in great numbers until we identify and then tackle the different root sources that impede its progress as a games pedagogy.
