Abstract: With the movement to evolving classroom practices and pedagogies to enhance student-centered learning environments across all Key Learning Areas, there has been growing concern about how educators can produce high quality, intellectual learning experiences within physical education. To provide much-needed understanding of teachers' experiences of the implementation of a TGfU (Teaching Games for Understanding) teaching approach, this study aimed to identify the ways in which individual teachers, adopt, embrace or alternatively resist TGfU as an innovative pedagogy. - Taken from abstract.; Doctor of Philosophy
