The Effect of Learning Process Systematized by “Task Game” Extracted from Tactics of Soccer on Upper Grade of Elementary School Children

Abstract

The learning process was systematically composed by seven kinds of “task game”, which were extracted from the tactics of soccer. The learning process was given to upper grade children of elementary school (abbre. TG group). While the ordinary learning process was composed from task become clear throughout a soccer game in the class, and then applied to another upper grade children (abbre. NG group). These two processes were compared on the effect of individual skill etc.Both groups showed the improvements of individual skills necessary for soccer. Particularly in the TG group, the appearance-rate of shooting, followed the through-pass, the one-two, the post and the overlap, increased throughout the process. In addition, the TG group showed higher in the coordinated shot rate. These findings inferred that the teamwork was facilitated more remarkably in the TG group than in the NG group.The individual mean values of four items, i.e. “progress of the skills”, “enjoyment in the class”, “discoveries in the class” and “cooperation among companions” questioned in five degrees, was higher in the TG group than in the NG group, respectively.The attitudes toward the class of “value of the clas” and “evaluation of the class” were more excellent in the TG group. A higher score of the recognition level test of the tactical action was obtained in the TG group. In addition, a significant correlation was admitted between the “enjoyment score in the class” and the score of the recognition level test.The above described facts suggested that the learning process composed of seven kinds of “task game” extracted from the tactics of soccer game might increase individual skills, teamwork, “enjoyment in the class” and an attitude toward physical education class for the upper grade of elementary school children.
