The best way to teach children to cooperate is through team sports at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Sports
is believed, by many people, to be the best way
to promote collaboration among children
at school. However
, considering there are many alternatives where pupils can work
with each other, it is excessive to say that sports
are the most effective way
to encourage teamwork
.
Essentially, team sports
are very efficient when it comes to teaching children
how to cooperate with each other. Through a competitive environment, children
develop teamwork
skills, self-esteem and strategising. For example
, students can have many opportunities to recognise the strengths as well as
the shortcomings of each team member which can be used to better compete against their opponents, especially in sports
with more than 5 participants such
as football, volleyball and basketball. Moreover
, playing sports
also
stimulates a working environment where people work
towards a common goal together. Thus
, pupils learn how to work
together more effectively when they engage in these sporting activities.
On the other hand
, there are many different ways for children
to learn teamwork
. They can acquire these skills through tasks or even games while
studying in classes. For instance
, teachers can encourage cooperation through grouping so that students realise teamwork
is the only way
to benefit themselves and reach their quotas. Additionally
, assigning projects or presentations to students is another effective way
. By doing this
, children
will have to divide work
among themselves to make sure that the workload suits the capabilities of each member. As a result
, they will learn more about teamwork
because they might fail the assignment if one or some of them refuse to work
.
In conclusion, team sports
and all the work
in classes contributed to the development of teamwork
for children
. However
, there is no clear evidence of which way
is superior to the others so it cannot be concluded that playing sports
is the best way
to promote collaboration among children
