ABSTRACT
In adaptation games, the more successful team must normally adapt to the less successful team. Adaptation is required for the entire opposing team, but there are likely to be differences in adaptability that depend on each individual’s skill level. There may be students who find adaptation makes the game too difficult, and students who can easily handle it. To resolve this difficulty, the present study attempts to personalize the adaptation game by asking that the students themselves demand an adaptation that suits them, and that social interest is nurtured in the process. This personalization creates an opportunity for all members to become equal, fosters an awareness of participation in sports on an equal basis and encourages social interest in both members of their own team and the opposing team. As a result, it is possible to create opportunities for mutual attention among various students, fostering social interest.
The purpose of this study was to verify student learning as they progressed through a basketball lessons unit, using personalized adaptation games.
