Gender: In teaching and learning process of goalball, the teacher must prepare and 
provide activities that engage both girls and boys equally in exploiting their full 
potential and talents without any discrimination or prejudice.
 Inclusive education: The teacher as a facilitator he/she must consider different 
special education needs and select activities to adapt his teaching approaches 
to students. This creates a positive attitude and helps all students to participate 
actively and develop their competence levels.
 Financial education: The teacher should integrate Financial Education into his 
teaching/learning activities by providing the local and no cost teaching material where 
is possible. He/she must encourage students to make their own materials that can 
help them to develop competences not only in goal ball game but also in their life.
Standardization culture: The teacher must choose and select the standardized 
materials to use in his/her teaching/learning process of goal ball. It is necessary to 
provide appropriate materials required to the levels of students and help them to 
develop culture of checking and using the quality of   sport materials for the competitions 
before using them in order to prevent injuries and other cases of accident.
 Environment and sustainability: The teacher should provide materials and 
deliver the lesson by encouraging students to protect the environment and well 
use of materials. The teacher helps them to develop the spirit of keeping safe the 
environment in which they use by cleaning playground and courts after the lesson.
Peace and values education: The teacher helps students to develop fair play and 
social values by avoiding violence and conflict in the game and by setting clear and 
relevant instructions. He/she should provide the activities that help students to 
develop their competence peacefully.
 Comprehensive sexuality education
 The teacher provides goalball activities and sets instructions that prevent sexual 
harassment or any kind of gender-based violence like sexual abuse and physical 
contacts oriented to the sexuality intention.
 Genocide studies: While conducting goal ball exercises a teacher should take a 
time to explain students how sports should be used to fight against Genocide 
ideology and how to prevent it. For example, to organize Genocide memorial 

tournaments at school and give the message related to the Genocide.

 8.3. Guidance on introductory activity
 Before introducing the lesson one of this unit, you must introduce the whole unit.
