The Attitudinal Style and Its Potential for Hybridization with Other Pedagogical Models: A Narrative Review.

Abstract

The 'Attitudinal Style' (AS) enhances the democratic and engaging learning process by improving student motivation and attitudes. Its adaptability, transferability, and applicability make it suitable for hybridization with other pedagogical models (PMs). This study explores the possibilities of blending AS with other PMs for classroom applications, emphasizing the use of formative and shared assessments to maximize efficiency. Adopting a Narrative Review methodology, the research delves into ten academic databases, identifying seven publications that meet the inclusion criteria for a detailed analysis. These publications propose pedagogical approaches for sports, body expression, natural environments, and physical conditioning. They highlight the potential of integrating AS with other PMs to not only enrich physical education (PE) experiences but also introduce innovative teaching methods for various physical activities. The evidence from these sources suggests that combining AS with other PMs serves as a robust strategy to enhance the overall educational experience in PE.
