6. Teams-Games Tournaments TGT
Before conducting TGT, teacher had better recognize five components of it: Class presentation, Teams, Games, Tournaments, and
Team recognition.
a. Components of TGT
1 Class presentation: teacher explains the material and ensures that
all students are really focused on the lesson. Teacher may use audiovisual presentation, gives encouragement, and gives
motivation. 2
Teams: each team consists of four or five members consisting of different gender, academic performance, race or ethnicity. It is
group member’s responsibility to ensure that their member know well on the material since it will be tested in the tournaments. To
ensure it, they may discuss the material, compare the answer between members, or evaluate the answers of each other.
3 Games: students answer the questions from numbered-card and
allow other two students as challenger to challenge it, is the games in TGT. In short, the games in TGT is played in tournament table.
4 Tournaments: tournaments are held after teacher’s presentation as
well as student’s group work. In conducting first tournament,
commit to user teacher places three highest students on the table 1, the next three
to table 2, and so on. It is a hope that each student gives their best to their team by giving their maximal score on tournament. In the
second tournament, the place of each student is changed based on their last score in the first tournament. The winner of each table
move to the higher table, the looser moves to the lower table, while the student with the constant score is still in hisher previous
table. For instance, table 5 consists of student A, B, C where the winner is B, the constant score is A, and the looser is C, so B
moves to table 6, A is still in table 5, and C moves to table 4. Figure 1 clearly illustrates it.
