Cooperative Learning to Enhance Social and Emotional Learning among Hispanic English Language Learners in Elementary Physical Education
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v37 n4 p24-31 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the challenges and opportunities for incorporating social and emotional learning (SEL) into physical education, especially in settings disrupted by remote learning. This article provides practical strategies for PE teachers to apply the cooperative learning (CL) model to help Hispanic English language learners develop crucial SEL skills. CL involves structured group activities that promote teamwork and communication, which are essential for students who face challenges with language and cultural barriers. By integrating activities like multicultural games, physical education teachers can create a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages students to collaborate, understand different perspectives, and build emotional and social competencies. This approach also supports a more inclusive and empathetic classroom dynamic.
