Modalities of student responses in football games according to players' cognitive structures

Abstract

This work is part of a semio-constructivist conception of learning sport and physical education that emphasizes the primary role of language action in the co-construction of knowledge in/through action. The aim is to study the decision-making methods of three groups of students in a verbal football cycle. A total of 48 pupils participates voluntarily in our study, in mixed teams, with/without a teacher (Time = 2 x 4 mn) before/after small sided games (2 x 10 mn). The language activity of students is dependent on the development of cognitive structures identified from the classes to which they belong. 2021 by the authors.
