Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach on basketball performance of 35 (14-16year old) students. Five components were used to test performance namely, decision making, skill execution, support, cover and guarding. The combination of these components was used to calculate overall game performance. Participants were separated into two groups namely the Traditional (Control) group and the TGfU (Experimental) group. Pre and post-tests data were video recorded for both groups. A mean difference comparison of the GPAI components showed that the TGfU group performed better that the Traditional group. However, this difference was not significant in four of the five GPAI components, only showing significance in the cover at alpha level 0.05. The results also showed that the TGfU group performed significantly better in overall game performance than the Traditional group.
