Abstract:
The purpose of the present study is to focus on the teaching methods as a panacea for effective approaches to physical education in the classroom. Teaching methods denote various strategies that the teacher uses to deliver his/her subject matter to the students in the classroom based on the instructional objectives to bring about learning. Teaching methods help to communicate ideas and skills to the students. There are several teaching methods for physical education. It is left for the teacher to use the ones most appropriate for the lesson. These methods if properly used will enhance teaching and learning and bring about desired changes in the students. While the teacher’s task is to ensure that learning is effective, one major way to achieve this is the use of appropriate teaching methods. This paper examines the concept of teaching, the teacher, learning, and discussed various teaching methods that can be used in the classrooms. The paper further discussed approaches to implementation and its implication for teaching and proffered the way forward for effective use of teaching approaches for better results in the classroom teaching. In institutionalized education, the main goal has been developing children’s cognitive capacity in the sense of learning knowledge in academic disciplines. This goal dictates a learning environment in which seated learning behavior is considered appropriate and effective and is rewarded. Physical education as part of education provides the only opportunity for all children to learn about physical movement and engage in physical activity.
