This paper presents a case study of a physical education program for troubled youth attending an adolescent treatment center. The site selected for study was deliberately chosen due to the alternative nature of the physical education program and its apparent success in helping to connect students to their school environment. The researcher, as bricoleur, used a variety of methodological tools and strategies to collect data that corresponded to the study’s entry question: How does the physical education program work? Constructed from the data is the story of a gymnasium culture that has been carefully crafted to promote physically and psychologically safe participation that is fair and flexible, where students are encouraged to play just for fun, and a lack of competence is positioned as an opportunity to learn. By incorporating the theoretical framework of the “Circle of Courage” (Brendtro, Brokenleg, & Van Bockern, 1998) into the data analysis, this paper is intended to show how physical education can provide a reclaiming versus alienating learning environment for young people.

Este artículo analiza la evolución de los planes de estudio de educación física y ciencias de la actividad física en la Universidad de León desde su implantación en 1987. Aunque es un estudio de un caso, se plantea como ejemplo del proceso de transformación de dichos estudios en España en los últimos 25 años. El análisis de los datos permite colegir que en este tiempo dichos estudios han sufrido una transformación de fondo al calor de los saberes hegemónicos: la formación humanística, social y pedagógica ha sido sustituida por materias de índole deportivo. Se argumenta que esta transformación provocará cambios en el perfil de los titulados y, eventualmente, puede redefinir el significado y las funciones de la educación física escolar.Palabras clave: planes de estudio, formación inicial de profesores, reforma universitaria, educación física.Abstract: This article analyzes the evolution of the syllabi in physical education and physical activity sciences at the University of León since its introduction in 1987. Although this is a case study is presented as an example of the transformation of these studies in Spain in the last 25 years. The data analysis can infer on that at this time these studies have undergone a fundamental transformation in the heat of the hegemonic knowledge: the humanistic, social and pedagogical education, has been replaced by maters subject sport competitions the humanistic, social and pedagogical education has been replaced by sports. It argues that this transformation will change the profile of graduates and may eventually redefine the meaning and functions of school physical education.Key words: syllabi, initial teacher training, university reform, physical education.

<p>The benefits of students participating in good quality physical education (PE) classes within their schools can impact other areas of their lives. The quantity of PE classes available to students, the level of choice, the range of activities and PE pedagogical practices need to be considered in order to maximise student participation and enjoyment levels in PE. The overall aim of this thesis was to determine what perceptions and experiences intermediate aged children have of their physical education classes. The objectives were concerned with the quantity of physical education classes that the students received, the level of choice the students had regarding the types of activities they participated in during PE, whether the students were aware of the possible association between physical fitness and their academic performance and whether the students felt they had an extensive variety of activities available to participate in during their physical education classes. This research utilised a survey based methodology, employing the use of a questionnaire that was completed by a total of 336 children, aged between 11 and 13 years from one Waikato Intermediate School. The findings suggested that the students were generally satisfied with the quality of their PE classes, but they recommended that some adjustments are made to their physical education curriculum and pedagogical practices. Some of these changes, included having PE more regularly, having more choice regarding the types of activities they take part in during PE, and having more diverse types of physical activities. A trend that emerged at the data analysis stage was the number of students, (both boys and girls), who were only interested in continuing on with participation in PE when they get older out of the fear of becoming fat. This issue and some of its consequences are discussed in more detail. Recommendations are made about PE and for further research. The nature and scope of this case study should be seen as a stepping stone for future research into this area of interest, particularly focussing on the experiences and perceptions of the students themselves.</p>

Standardization Of Procedures

Many issues must be resolved before research on mainstreaming in physical education becomes believable, replicable, and generalizable. Decisions are necessary regarding the standardization of procedures that place atypical students in the mainstream, and clear definitions are needed regarding what constitutes a handicapped student in physical education. Also, agreement is needed on what typifies the makeup of a regular physical education program that serves handicapped students. Additionally, physical education class content and context differs between classes in the same school, making controlled studies nearly impossible to achieve. It is very difficult to select test instruments that are appropriate to both handicapped and nonhandicapped students. Finally, data analysis is a problem because of the unequal numbers of handicapped and nonhandicapped students found in mainstream physical education classes.

Responsibility Model

The process and impact of a self-responsibility model for delinquency-prone youth was investigated using a variation of the case study method. Ten 4th-grade boys referred by school officials participated in a 6-week special physical education program. Five of the six data sources suggested that (a) the model caused some affective, behavioral, and knowledge changes in the boys, especially in the special program; (b) the experience influenced the special program teacher’s attitudes and values regarding both delinquency-prone youth and the applicability of the model for non-delinquency-prone youth; and (c) the model, with the exception of strategies for transfer, retained its validity throughout the case study. Premises and limitations of the research design are discussed.

The Core

Drawing on evidence from an Australian physical education teacher education (PETE) program, this paper argues that the preparation of physical education teachers implicates PETE in the trend to proletarianize teachers’ work at the same time that national claims for increased professionalization are being made. The core physical education program and its PETE component was characterized by narrow utilitarian, sexist, scientistic, and technicist approaches to the field of physical education. More specifically, the PETE program represented teaching as technical and unproblematic rather than as a critical and intellectual endeavor, and its faculty and students were accorded a subordinate status within the department.
