Tee It up!: Implementing a TPSR System in a High School Golf Unit
Busch, Nikki; Lavay, Barry
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v25 n8 p21-24 Nov-Dec 2012
Implementing Hellison's "Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility" (TPSR) system can help students take responsibility for their own behavior by helping students understand what it means to demonstrate appropriate behavior at various levels of responsibility. The levels range from zero through five and include: 0) irresponsibility, 1) respect, 2) participation, 3) self-direction, 4) caring, and 5) transferring of all skills to other places and situations. The TPSR system is very versatile as it can be developed for age appropriateness at all grade levels and can be modified and used with all types of physical education activities (Hellison, 2011). The purpose of this article is to provide an example of how the TPSR leveling system was implemented in a high school physical education golf unit by using golf scoring terminology that corresponds to the various level systems of behavior.
