This report analyzes changes in a traditional physical education curriculum in an inner-city high school. The analysis is based on my 14-week participant observation of classes and interviews with a veteran physical educator (Mary) who experienced community and curriculum changes during her 26-year tenure. A written chronological research narrative was examined through a framework that delineates the nature of curriculum discourses and student social capital for schooling. The findings show that the curriculum is failing because negative social changes have denied students’ access to necessary social capital for successful learning. Mary emphasized a curriculum discourse of control based on a belief of dual-responsibility that dichotomizes educational opportunity into responsibility of control for teachers and responsibility of learning for students. A grounded theory developed from the case suggests that the physical education curriculum should emphasize transformation of knowledge and skills, the person, and community culture rather than reproduction of the “official knowledge” (Apple, 1993).

Grounded upon the conservation of resources theory, this study sought to examine the relationships between the three emotional labor strategies, teacher burnout, and turnover intention among physical education teachers. A total of 613 high-school physical education teachers from 47 states across the United States completed online questionnaires that measured the proposed variables. The goodness-of-fit statistics indicated that the structural model showed a reasonable fit, χ2(605) = 1391.26 = 2.30, p < 0.01; RMSEA = .05; TLI = .93; CFI = .93. The results also revealed that teacher burnout was positively associated with surface acting and negatively associated with genuine expression. Further, teacher burnout was positively associated with turnover intention. Mediation analysis showed that teacher burnout fully mediated the trajectory from emotional labor strategies to turnover intention. The results highlight the impact of emotional labor on physical education teachers’ well-being and intention to leave the teaching profession.

The purposes of the study were to examine the students’ learning effects of different physical education curriculum model, which merged Teaching Personal and Responsibility (TPSR), respectively, with the Sport Education Model (SEM) and Traditional Teaching Model (TTM) for better learning effects in high school physical education classes. A pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used with an experimental group (TPSR-SEM; 75 students, Mage = 16.78 ± 0.54 years) and a control group (TPSR-SEM; 58 students, Mage = 16.82 ± 0.57 years). Experimental and control group sessions spanned 32 lessons over 16 weeks. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used for statistical analysis. The findings of research showed that the TPSR-SEM experimental group could improve more learning effects than the TPSR-TTM control group in the dependent variables, including sport self-efficacy, sport passion, responsibility, and game performance. We concluded that TPSR-SEM group could improve more learning effects than the TPSR-TTM group in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains for physical education courses. It is worthy to develop TPSR-SEM in the physical education curriculum.

<p>Propõe-se, neste artigo, analisar experiências   de   avaliação da Educação Física escolar com a “avaliação emancipatória”, denominação utilizada durante a vigência da reforma curricular ocorrida na rede pública estadual de ensino do Rio Grande do Sul em 2012, e que vigorou até 2016. Trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa e etnográfica, com utilização de entrevistas, observação participante e análise documental. A pesquisa empírica envolveu o acompanhamento de duas turmas de ensino médio politécnico, de duas diferentes escolas, nas aulas de Educação Física e nos conselhos de classe de um trimestre letivo de 2016. Por meio da triangulação, os dados foram analisados a partir das categorias regulação e emancipação. Distintas tensões e contradições ocorreram nas práticas avaliativas, e também ficou evidente a presença de elementos que as influenciaram no sentido da manutenção da regulação, e não da participação e da emancipação.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Evaluación emancipatoria de la educación media politécnica: experiencias etnográficas en la Educación Física</strong></p><p>El artículo se propone analizar experiencias de evaluación de la educación física escolar con la “evaluación emancipatoria”, denominación utilizada durante la vigencia de la reforma curricular ocurrida en la red pública estadual de enseñanza de Rio Grande do Sul en 2012 y que permaneció vigente hasta el año de 2016.

This denomination was used during the period of curriculum reform in the public education network of Rio Grande do Sul in 2012, and was in force until 2016. It takes a qualitative and ethnographic approach, using interviews, participant observation and document analysis. The empirical research involved following two Polytechnic High School groups, from two different schools, in physical education classes and in the class councils of one academic quarter of 2016. The data were analyzed using triangulation in the categories of regulation and emancipation. Different tensions and contradictions occurred in evaluative practices. The presence of elements that influenced these practices was also evident in the sense of maintaining regulation, and not in participation or emancipation.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Learning Evaluation; High School; Physical Education; Regulation.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
