Özet: The game method should be the prevalent way of teaching among physical training teachers instead of the lecture method. A well-organized method of play has many advantages, in which the student does not only depend on the teacher, but can use his own creativity to develop different learning experiences with himself and his friends. It's logical to assume that, the evaluations of the physical training teachers on the game method may affect the instructional methods they are going to prefer in their future teaching career. In this connection, the purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of the game method on Pedagogical Formation students in terms of the student perception, and to collect their alternative solution offers to overcome the drawbacks of the method. The participants were the students from the departments of physical training of private and state universities who came to Necmettin Erbakan University to participate in a program on pedagogical formation in the 2018-2019 academic years. The most prominent advantage of the study conducted by the participation of aforementioned students was the opportunity to make comparisons of approaches to the game method conducted in various universities. Focus group interviews were carried out and the data were obtained from 27 students from 3 different universities and was analyzed by the researcher independently. The findings revealed that students were pleased with the faculty members' common approach to the method and their suggestions may be of a real help for those who lecture in schools.
