ABSTRACT
For his practical session, the author choses cricket, a sport from the striking and fielding classification of games, as the vehicle for teaching Positive Pedagogy for sport coaching (PPed) principles to the students in the teaching sessions’ part of the symposium. The PPed features the author used throughout the session were: designing physical learning environment or experience for student engagement and asking questions that generate dialogue and thinking instead of telling the students what to do. The features also include providing a supportive socio-moral environment on which making mistakes was accepted as an essential part of learning and adopting an inquiry approach to learning where the students became active learners and took responsibility for their learning through the collaborative formation of ideas/solutions to the problems that arise in games.
