Research on teaching sport games: Teaching and learning games skills This study reviews the evolution of the research on the sport games related to the issues of teaching and learning the sport games skills, which is no more than a part of the research effort in the domain of sport games, yet the prominent one. In the first phase the research question was rooted upon motor learning topics, and the studies confined to academic graduation requirements. It was the time of the “methods war”. A new phase began with the systematic observation of the teaching and learning process, with a particular interest on learner engagement and the correlated effect on skill achievement. The continued efforts to qualify and refine learner engagement variables, along with a growing move from a behaviourist to a cognitivist perspective has put the research questions more and more closed to the intimacies of the student work, to the tasks goals, content and contexts, and to the level of the learner processing on those tasks. In the last decades, the arrangement of the contexts for practice has deserved special attention by renewing the connection with the motor learning topics, such as the contextual interference, although results were not so conclusive. The attention the programs usually assigned to skill execution may be both a result of and a cause to a fragmented and non-contextualized view of the sport games’ skills.
