Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Tactical Game Model (TGM) on increasing critical thinking dispositions and skills. The general question of the research is to determine whether exposure to the tactical game model has an effect on physical education teacher candidates' critical thinking dispositions and skills.
Method: In the research, pre-test, post-test control group and quasi-treatment embedded mixed design were used. Participants were comprised of fifty-four (25 female, 29 male) student teachers from a Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program at a public university in Türkiye. Prior to the study, ethical permission was attained from the Hacettepe University Institutional Review Board, Department Review Board (Num. 35853172-755.02.06). The intervention programme was implemented for 10 weeks/20 hours. Basketball lesson was taught with TGFU with the experimental group. All lessons were recorded with a camera. The descriptive analysis method was preferred for analyzing qualitative data. The California Insight Assessment made descriptive statistics of quantitative data. The t-test was used in the dependent groups to compare the pretest and posttest scores of Treatment and the control groups. ANCOVA was used to compare the posttest scores, and to compare the subdimensions. In the collection of qualitative data; Student reflective diaries were collected from the treatment group at the end of each lesson, and semi-structured individual interviews were conducted by the researcher at the end of 8 weeks.
Results: In the ANCOVA results, significant differences were found in favor of critical thinking dispositions and critical thinking skills post-test total scores.17 critical thinking components were found under the main themes. İndividual interviews, evidence was obtained that pre-service PETs’ teaching with TGM contributes to critical thinking. Based on the evidence obtained for critical thinking and the changes observed, it can be said that 10-week / 20-hours lessons have shown successful results in developing the critical thinking dispositions and skills.
Discussion/Conclusion: The results of this study revealed the function of the Tactical Game Model on critical thinking in terms of teacher training programs. When the post-test scores obtained from the CCTDI obtained from the study were compared, it was observed that there were significant differences between the groups in the sub-dimensions of inquisitiveness, analyticity and maturity.It was found that the scores of the candidates in the TGM group differed significantly from the scores of the candidates in the control group. In our study, it was revealed that critical thinking, which was tried to be handled as a whole in the context of cognitive skills and affective dispositions, could be developed as a result of teaching with TGM for 10 weeks. Evidence was presented in the context of critical thinking dispositions and critical thinking skills.
