Introduction
Helping the pupils know the value of empathy and
compassion is present in many subject areas. Learning to
understand the feelings and thoughts of others takes practice. These
values are part of social skills that each individual should know.
Subject areas like physical education and health involve interaction
among individuals. Activities like playing sports with peers, doing
physical routines with others, and even keeping oneself healthy and
presentable are essential concepts taught to children in school. With
this, the teacher should use a strategy that allows the pupil to
incorporate the concepts they have learned and deal with others.
THINK: Defining role-play as a teaching strategy
Various studies have supported the effectiveness of role-play strategy

in teaching young pupils(Samalot-Rivera,2014). Roe-play is created
situation in which pupils portray a particular role. It is a learning structure
that allows the pupils to immediately apply concepts learned in part. This
strategy is an excellent tool for engaging the pupils and allowing them to
interact with their peers as they try to accomplish the tasks being assigned
to them and their specific roles.
This strategy provides limitless opportunities for intervention and
personal and social qualities during the physical education and health
classes. Pupils play various roles in activities and express what may happen
in a specific scenario using language or action.
Funtions of Role-playing
The manifestation of role-playing in physical education for the pupils is to take the
whole sports learning process as a platform for sports performance (Tong, 2017). The pupils
will play a role according to their characteristics, interests, and needs. The part-play activities
change the teacher’s part from the primary source of information to a learning facilitator. The
abilities of the pupils are highlighted in this type of teaching strategy.
The primary function of the role-playing strategy in physical education is divided into
two. These are the evaluation function and the training function.
The evaluation function focuses on assessing the abilities and intelligence while
performing the task. On the other hand, the communication between the pupils and the
teacher may help the teacher understand the interests, personality type, personal temperament,
and other psychological elements of the pupils. It may also help the teacher assist the pupils
in developing their management and organization abilities, social interaction, and
adaptability.

skills.

discussed. They may express their ideas and opinions an even oppose ideas that may make task
