The unit was delivered through a cooperative learning method named
“Learning Teams” (Grineski, 1 996), with teams of 4 or 5 students. Here
the teacher provides an explanation of the motor skills to be developed,
indicating to the students their achievement goals. Then, the students
work on different teams in which each member plays a specific role:
note taker, supporter, equipment keeper, task manager... In our case,
each student played a different role in each of the sessions throughout
all of them along the teaching unit. Finally, students were assessed andmarked according to the level of attainment of the goals before
mentioned and bonuses or penalties were consequently assigned to the
teams.
