PotentialClassBased

PotentialClassBased, also known as Potential Class Based Coaching, is a methodological approach in sports and physical education. It originated in Europe, particularly in the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands, in the mid-20th century. The approach focuses on exploring the potential of individuals within a class or group setting.

The core idea behind PotentialClassBased is that students will excel when challenged appropriately. It emphasizes the importance of setting individualized goals, encouraging intrinsic motivation, and minimizing external competition. The teacher serves as a facilitator, guiding the students to discover their unique potential.

In a PotentialClassBased setting, the instructor uses a range of activities to promote exploration, creativity, and problem-solving. This can include experiments, brainstorming sessions, or role-playing exercises. The goal is not to focus on performances or results but to develop the students' self-awareness and capacity for innovation.

Research indicates that PotentialClassBased strategies can lead to improved student engagement, motivation, and performance. Underlying factors include self-determination theory, self-regulation, and situational factors influencing motivation.

Seeking extremes is a feature of PotentialClassBased exercises to render participants' actions more visible and profound. Resource teacher mobility creates cross-gender and cross-ethnic classes facilitating close positive relationships.
