Original Article Teaching physical education: the usefulness of the teaching games for understanding and the constraints-led approach

The physical education teaching is a process that should adjust with the students' potentialities and with the context. Therefore, in order to adapt the teaching practice to the students' motivations, as well as their capabilities, new ecological teaching models have emerged in order to encourage the students' practice and provide new tools to the physical education teacher. The main objective of this work is to analyze the Teaching Games for Understanding model and the Constraints-led Approach model creating a bridge between the two models in order to sustain the ecological teaching in physical education. Additionally will be analyzed the beneficial effects resulting from these ecological teaching models for learning and students' motivation on the physical education.
