Research within the field of intergenerational touch has shown that there is a tension between the need to use physical contact as an obvious pedagogical tool, and the no-touch discourse. Within this tension physical contact between physical education teachers and students has also been shown to be a gender/ed issue with heteronormative points of departure. The aim of this study is to investigate how young adult female students’ talk about physical contact between teachers and students in physical education is related to heteronormativity. The study takes its starting point in Foucault’s work on discourses and Butler’s performative perspective. Thirteen female students in upper secondary school were interviewed in four focus groups using photo elicitation. In the findings, three performatives are identified that show how the students’ talk about physical contact between teacher and student in physical education is related to heteronormativity. The three performatives are: (a) gendering with age; (b) being wary of men; and (c) feeling sympathy for men. The paper discusses the effects the heteronormative discourse has on young adult female students and male teachers in relation to physical contact in physical education.

Background. Intense changes in national education require new students’ teaching technologies in physical education. There are a number of studies, published books or articles on the topics of modern physical education classes and they provide guidance for teachers, but we believe that there is a lack of modernity in the reality of physical education, still focusing on sports lessons avoiding non-traditional content of the lessons. Research aim was to reveal the subjective opinions of physical education teachers and students in higher grades about the realities of modern physical education classes.Methods. The sample included physical education teachers (n = 33) and 10–11 th  grade students (n = 324), who were selected applying the convenience sampling strategy from Kaunas city schools. The research employed a questionnaire by Pate, Corbin, and Pangrazi (1998), and some more questions of interest to the researchers were added.  The  survey  was  conducted  in  spring  of  2012.  The  research  participants  were  surveyed  in  their  schools during the classes with the consent of physical education teachers and students and with the permission of school administration received in advance. Results. Students more often pointed out the lack of attention to individual work and its implementation, just one-fifth of the students indicated that lessons met their needs and physical education teachers sometimes met modern requirements, showing sincerity, respect, etc. The survey showed that physical education classes were still largely dominated by sports and movement skills, and only sometimes by the non-traditional or healthy lifestyle. Teachers more often than students highlighted the progress and initiative criteria. The most common means of discipline for students in physical education were a whistle and loud shouting.Conclusion.  Physical  Education  teachers  tend  to  subjectively  better  evaluate  the  contemporary  realities  of physical education classes compared to students. Teachers more often indicated that they applied independent work in their lessons, and thought that the lesson content met the needs of the students and led enough to unconventional physical activity and healthy lifestyle. Students more often pointed out that teachers never assessed them according to their progress in the development of their physical qualities and knowledge during lessons. In the opinions of teachers and students, physical fitness test results are still common evaluation criteria in the lessons.Keywords: lesson, physical education, modern, teachers.

The purpose of this study was to examine situational and personal contextual factors that teachers and students reported as enhancing or minimizing student engagement in urban high school physical education classes. In this ethnographic study, 21 physical education teachers and their students in six high schools were observed, and all teachers at six schools and 51 students at five schools were interviewed to examine their perspectives on physical education. Data were analyzed using constant comparison. Findings suggested that students found some tasks to be embarrassing, boring, and irrelevant. Some students preferred to receive a failing grade rather than participate. All participants reported a sense of fear and alienation in the school or class environments. Students, however, described several teachers who created contexts of engagement in these schools. These teachers connected personally with students and worked to provide an innovative curriculum that students felt was relevant and worthwhile.

En nuestra sociedad existe una constante preocupación por la calidad de la educación y sus procesos, en donde se evidencia como un factor preponderante el desempeño de los profesores. Es a partir de esto que se formuló el siguiente objetivo general: Establecer las competencias específicas que debe poseer el Profesor de Educación Física para desempeñarse en las instituciones escolares, a partir de las consideraciones del medio educativo. Se diseñó una investigación descriptiva bajo un paradigma mixto, en donde se utilizó el modelo de levantamiento de competencias Desarrollo de Curriculum (DACUM), entrevistando a 39 directores y docentes de instituciones escolares y universitarias, para posteriormente jerarquizar estas competencias, aplicando un cuestionario a 801 directores, docentes y estudiantes de ambas instituciones. Las competencias específicas que se levantaron fueron 7 en el área del saber, 5 en el área del hacer y 5 en el área del ser. La competencia que presento una mayor jerarquización fue en el área del ser “Actúa con liderazgo pedagógico motivando a sus estudiantes a participar en el desarrollo de actividades dentro de su comunidad educativa”. En relación a los promedios de jerarquización de las áreas, la mayor jerarquización la obtuvieron las competencias del área del hacer con un promedio de 3.66, luego ser con 3.64 y saber con 3.53. En relación a los actores: los directivos, docentes y estudiantes de las Instituciones Superiores entregaron una jerarquización mayor a las competencias levantadas en comparación a los directivos, docentes y estudiantes de las Instituciones Escolares.Abstract: In our society there is a constant concern for the quality of education and its processes, where teachers’ performance stands out as a preponderant factor. Based on it, the following general objective was formulated: To establish the specific competences that Physical Education Teachers must have to perform in school institutions, taking into account the specific educational setting. A descriptive research was designed under a mixed paradigm, where the curriculum development model (DACUM) was used to interview 39 directors and teachers of schools and higher education institutions, to later hierarchize these competences by applying a questionnaire to 801 directors, teachers, and students from both types of institutions. The specific competences raised were seven in the area of knowledge, five in the area of doing, and five in the area of being. The competence that presented a greater hierarchy was in the area of being: "Acts with pedagogical leadership motivating its students to participate in the development of activities within their educational community". In relation to the averages of hierarchy of the areas, the highest ranking was obtained by the competences of the area of doing with an average of 3.66, followed by being with 3.64, and knowing with 3.53.

Research background and hypothesis. In academic literature construct of tolerance has not been sufficiently revealed, limits of tolerance are not clear, especially they vary in different cultures. There is a noticeable increase in the number of children from various ethnic groups in Lithuanian schools. Therefore, multidimensional knowledge of various manifestations of tolerance/intolerance is of great importance. Research aim was to reveal attitudes of PE teachers and students towards manifestations of tolerance/intolerance.Research  methods.  In  our  research  questionnaire  was  applied  with  six  groups  of  tolerance  manifestations distinguished altogether with 36 related statements. There were six other statements according to six groups of tolerance  manifestations  for  the  potential  behavior  of  participants.  Validity  of  the  questionnaire  was  examined calculating Cronbach’s constant α: for the first part of the questionnaire Cronbach’s α  = 0.87, and for the second – α = 0.79. Values of χ 2  and Student’s t criterion were calculated. The sample of the research included 243 students of IX-XII classes form regional schools, 129 students of the same age from city schools, 47 physical education teachers from city schools and 38 teachers from regional schools. Research results. We found statistically significant difference (p  < 0.05) between positive attitudes towards tolerance among students from city schools and positive attitudes among students from regional schools. Statistically significant difference between positive attitudes towards tolerance for PE teachers from city schools and positive attitudes for those from regional schools was not found (p > 0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between positive attitudes towards tolerance of students from city schools and PE teachers from city schools (χ 2  (5) = 37.27; p < 0.05), also between positive attitudes towards tolerance of students from regional schools and PE teachers from regional schools (χ 2  (5) = 37.27; p < 0.05). We found statistically significant difference (t = 3.81; p < 0.05) between tolerance estimators of students and PE teachers from city schools. On the other hand, relevant differences between tolerance estimators of students from city schools and from regional schools, and differences between tolerance estimators of PE teachers from city schools and from regional schools were not found (p > 0.05).Discussion and conclusion: in fact, attitudes towards intolerance, which are incident to the PE teachers from city schools and their colleagues from regional schools, did not differ, but they contrasted with students’ attitudes. In cases of intolerance manifestations, students from city schools would be more passive than students from regional schools, but PE teachers from city schools would be more active than their students.Keywords: tolerance, intolerance, social distance.

Causality Orientations

Starting from self-determination theory, we explored whether student engagement/disengagement relates to teachers’ need support and whether this relationship is moderated by teachers’ causality orientations. A sample of 2004 students situated in 127 classes taught by 33 physical education teachers participated in the study. Both teachers and students reported on students’ (dis)engagement, allowing investigation of the proposed relationships both at the student and teacher level. Most of the variance in need support was at the student level, but there was also between-teacher and between-class variance in need support. Engagement related to more need support, but only at the student level. In total, few moderation effects were found. Teachers with a relatively low controlled orientation were more need supportive when perceiving their students as emotionally and behaviorally engaged. By making teachers aware of these dynamics, automatic responses to student engagement can be better thought out. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
