PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF ORGANIZING BADMINTON CLASSES BASED ON STUDENTS' AGE CHARACTERISTICS
Keywords:
age-appropriate pedagogy, badminton instruction, developmental stages, motor learning, physical education, youth sport.Abstract
This research examines the pedagogical principles and practical frameworks for organizing badminton instruction that aligns with developmental characteristics across different age groups. The study integrates developmental psychology, motor learning theory, and sport pedagogy to establish comprehensive guidelines for age-appropriate badminton education. Through analysis of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social developmental stages, this work identifies optimal instructional strategies, equipment modifications, and organizational structures corresponding to early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, and late adolescence periods. The findings demonstrate that systematic consideration of age-specific characteristics significantly enhances learning outcomes, skill acquisition rates, motivation levels, and long-term sport participation. This research contributes evidence-based recommendations for curriculum designers, physical education teachers, and badminton coaches seeking to implement developmentally appropriate instruction that maximizes learning effectiveness while fostering lifelong engagement with badminton and physical activity.
