Abstract

Teaching in physical education in schools plays an important role in psychological and professional skills,especially in the elementary school. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the intervention of Teaching Game for Understanding(TGFU) on cognitive flexibility and learning table tennis forehand skills in second year elementary school students.For this purpose, a total of 60 students trained randomly in two TGFU (30 people) and traditional (30 people) groups. Interventions were conducted in 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week and each session lasted 45 minutes. All participants completed the cognitive flexibility questionnaire as well as the table tennis skill test from the beginning to the second week and the end of the intervention. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the participants of the TGFU group had higher scores than their counterparts in the traditional group in relation to table tennis skills and cognitive flexibility.The results of the present study confirm the positive role of TGFU on psychological and skill variables in students and can be used as a training to improve the knowledge of teachers.Therefore, the results of this study consider TGFU as an effective solution for the pedagogy content knowledge of physical education teachers.
