Abstract
This blog provides a reflection on Ellen’s experiences of the new Models-Based Pedagogy Module on the revalidated BSc Physical Education with QTS course at the University of Sunderland. The personal observations and reflections highlight the students’ understanding of Game-Based Approaches (GBAs) (Bunker and Thorpe, 1982; Gambles and Gutierrez, 2023; TGfU SIG, 2021) and their application in assignments and teaching sessions. Provided are some key learning points and strategies that we could implement to strengthen our degree programme.
