A Study of Teaching Strategies for Developed Learning Products (Combination Play in Soccer Game) among 5th and 6th Graders in elementary school

Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the teaching strategies developed for learning products (combination play in soccer game) among 5th and 6th graders in elementary school.According to the diagnostic results based on the attitude scores toward physical education courses, nine classes rated ‘successful class’ were chosen as the subjects. Then, the attitudes were measured before and after each unit of instruction respectively, using Kobayashi Physical Education Inventory. The development of combination play in soccer game was evaluated by the change during before and after the unit of instruction with following the game analyses [the mean ratio of ball keeping time (tm>tn) of one team (tm) to the other team (tn) in front of the goal, the ratio of shooting times with more than 2 passings to the times of ball acquisition, and the frequency of the pass as getting an opponent moved to one side].This investigation suggests three elements of teaching strategies for improving the above learning products. 1) It is necessary to provide enough area for the game, and it should be more than 90-120m2 per child, regardless of other factors of instructions. 2) Itis important for teachers to emphasize combination play in front of the goal, and it should be reflected in lesson plans. 3) It is very important to let child understand the rationale and the necessity of tasks given by teachers.
