THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON TEACHING MOVEMENT GAMES TO SECONDARY SCHOOL PUPILS

Abstract

Abstract Games in general are activities of ludical type, with tremendous influence upon the development of the performers’ personality from many points of view, including on the level of social integration. They are total, attractive, spontaneous, free, natural and uninterested activities. They also have recreational and compensating facets. That is why they are very much used in organisational forms in the free time of various categories of subjects. The present research aims at proving that that the movement game is one of the fundamental teaching aids used in the physical education lessons in the fifth-grade classes in rural schools, and also in the pupils’ leisure time. The research methods were as follows: the study of the bibliography, the investigation method (questionnaire), the statistical-mathematical method, and the graph representation method. The research was carried out during the school year 2008-2009, focusing on analysing the aspects related to the movement game used during the lessons and the leisure time. To this purpose a questionnaire was administered to pupils and teachers. The questionnaire for pupils included 11 items and was administered to a number of 51 fifth-graders from the schools of Mircea Vodă, in the Brăila Country. The questionnaire for teachers included 7 items and was administered to 18 teachers of physical education in the rural area. The questions aimed to provide information about the use of movement games during the fifth-grade lessons, and also about some methodical aspects. The results partially confirmed the starting hypothesis
