Summary
The Tactical Games Model (TGM) shows growing research in physical education, mainly for K-12 team sports. Further study is needed for higher education and cognitive impacts.
Area of Science:
- Physical Education Pedagogy
- Sport Pedagogy
- Curriculum Development
Background:
- The Tactical Games Model (TGM) has gained popularity in physical education.
- Existing research on TGM is fragmented, necessitating a comprehensive review.
- This review addresses the need for a consolidated understanding of TGM applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and analyze the existing literature on the Tactical Games Model in physical education.
- To identify current trends, research gaps, and developments in TGM research.
- To provide a resource for educators and researchers to enhance TGM's application and student outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search across four online databases.
- Inclusion of 38 relevant articles evaluated using PRISMA guidelines.
- Analysis focused on research trends, application contexts, and measured outcomes.
Main Results:
- A consistent increase in TGM research, primarily in K-12 settings and team/invasion games.
- Limited research exists for higher education, teachers, coaches, and non-invasion sports.
- Common research objectives focused on game performance, physical activity, motivation, and enjoyment, with mixed success.
- Cognitive aspects and decision-making impacts of TGM remain underexplored.
Conclusions:
- TGM is increasingly researched in physical education, particularly at the K-12 level.
- Gaps exist in research concerning higher education, teacher training, and diverse sports.
- Further investigation into TGM's cognitive benefits and broader applications is recommended.
