Analyzing the Effectiveness of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) Approach in Traditional Games in Solomon Islands: Enhancing Gross Motor Skills

The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) approach is widely utilized in physical education, particularly in sports and games. Developed by Bunker and Thorp (1982), this model emphasizes game situations, tactics, and decision-making. Recently, researchers have adapted game-based models to focus on decision-making and skill execution. This study applied the TGFU approach, integrated with traditional games,
