This paper aims to explore the rationale of classroom negotiation - understood as a discussion between all participants in the teaching/learning process to decide on the organization of foreign language learning and teaching. It outlines relevant issues connected with the process syllabus and the benefits that can be expected from involving students in classroom decision making. The article presents results of research conducted in Polish schools among both students and teachers at different levels of education in order to see to what extent the foreign language syllabus is negotiated there.

Student-centric learning methodology is vital in handling specific learning disabilities (SLD) that spotlight students for the teaching-learning process, improve the effectiveness of the learning and respond to the student's need. The educational psychologist with diverse skills diagnoses a SLD in different ways which contribute to decision-making. As a result, the deviation between each decision maker matrix has to be lowered to find the optimal weights. The proposed model develops the fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) based on the interval trapezoidal type-2 fuzzy number (ITrT2FN). Since the problem is multi-attribute decision making, the proposal was for a group decision-making model based on ITrT2FNs and a multi-attributive border approximation area comparison method. The model helps to ease the decision making related to the type of teaching-learning methodologies to be followed for a student with SLD. The model is tested with a ten attribute SLD problem, and a comparative study is made to measure the efficiency of the FOA.

The debate regarding the teaching of sport and games appears to be more complex than a matter of technical versus tactical approaches. The authors identify facets of the debate. One of these facets concerns the undifferentiated use of the terms tactics and strategy. The authors argue that these two concepts need to be clarified if decision-making and critical-thinking are to be encouraged on the part of the students. A framework is put forward for the analysis of the functioning of team sports. The framework includes: (a) an overview of the internal logic of team sports based on two essential features, the rapport of strength and the competency network; (b) an operational definition of strategy and tactics as they relate to the internal logic of team sports; and (c) nine principles underlying tactics and strategy and presented as potential guides for teachers and students in the teaching-learning of team sports and games.

The Geography Teacher in the classroom setting is confronted on a daily basis with situations which require effective decision-making. By and large, the quality of the decision s/he makes daily determines the attainment of her/his instructional goals. But unfortunately, some teachers are unable to attain their instructional goals due to their poor decision-making skills. This article is an attempt to educate teachers in general and geography teachers in particular on the decision-making skills that they have to demonstrate in the teaching learning process. The article deals with issues such as the functional roles of the Geography Teacher as regards lesson planning, lesson implementation and lesson evaluation. In performing these functions, the Geography Teacher will have to demonstrate her/his decision-making skills with regard to what to teach, when to teach, how to teach and how to evaluate.

Purpose: To compare the tactical-technical behavior of volleyball players according to the manipulation of court size in small-sided games. Method: We analyzed the tactical-technical behaviors of 16 male players (12.2  ±  0.5 years and 1.2  ±  0.8 years of practice) using the components of the GPAI instrument (Adjustment, efficiency, decision-making and effectiveness) validated for volleyball. To this end, we examined 1614 transition actions (defense, setting and attack) from games played in four court dimensions (3.0 × 3.0m, 4.0 × 4.0m, 4.6 × 4.6m and 5.2 × 5.2m). Altogether 96 Volleyball games were analyzed. Results: The smaller area per player favored technical skills development, specifically defensive and offensive ones. On the other hand, a larger area per player promoted higher scores in decision-making and effectiveness. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the players’ behaviors in small-sided games depend on the game configurations, since modifications in the tactical-technical behavior emanate from the game ecology. Thus, the court size manipulation is a powerful pedagogical tool that deeply relates to learning outcomes. Coaches must consider such constraints in the teaching-learning process, since small-sided games manipulations should be linked with clear learning goals.
