The incorporation of the goal-setting strategy in organizing a physical education lesson

Abstract

Goal-setting is an important element in peoples’ lives. It is a process that reveals what
someone wants to succeed and how will he/she approach it. The main purpose of the present
manuscript is to offer ideas and instructions to physical educators on how to develop and
employ a goal-setting plan during their lesson in order to assist students toward goal
achievement. The design, the preparation and the implementation phases of a goal-setting
program are introduced in details. Finally, specific activities that can be applied by the
physical educator during the lesson are presented.
