GRACA, Amândio    MESQUITA, Isabel. Research on models for teaching games . []. , 7, 3, pp.401-421. ISSN 1645-0523.

The main goal of this paper is to review the literature related to the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and the Sport Education Model (SE), which are presently the most influential models addressing the teaching of sport games. The scope of the review comprehends the contributions perceived to be relevant for examining the roots of the models; the theoretical essays and critical appraisals of the models; the proposals of revision and evolution trends for the models; the didactical literature associated to the models; the evolution of the empirical research directly focused on the models; and finally, the dialogue between the models and the challenges coming from new approaches to the teaching of games.
