Which design permits greater diversification of equipment and more efficient use of facilities while keeping all students involved?

• A. Multi-activity designs
• B. Homogeneous grouping
• C. Activity modification
• D. Heterogeneous grouping

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to organize the lesson around several activity stations that students rotate through. This multi-activity design allows you to offer different tasks that use different equipment and space, so you can set up several stations around the gym, field, or pool and move students from one to the next. Because students are continually rotating, equipment is reused and the facilities are utilized more efficiently, keeping all participants actively involved throughout the period. Grouping by ability or by mixed abilities focuses on who is with whom rather than how many activities are offered or how equipment and space are used. Activity modification changes how a single activity is performed, not the breadth of activities or the overall use of equipment and facilities.
