While many students participate autonomously in physical education (PE), research shows that students who do not participate in leisure sport are less likely to perceive PE positively. Attempting to optimise the reciprocal student (↔) PE relationship and secure equal opportunities for learning in PE, schools in a Norwegian county developed an ‘Interest-based PE’ programme offering students a choice of two PE approaches: a sports approach (SA), focused on sports activities, and an explorative approach (EA), focused on alternative movement activities. Based on a process-relational understanding of adolescent development and learning, this study seeks a deeper understanding of changes in the PE experiences of students in the programme. Sixteen students (ages 17–18 years) who had participated in Interest-based PE for 18 months participated in qualitative semi-structured one-on-one interviews where they reflected on their relationship with PE prior to and during the programme. Data were subject to inductive interpretive thematic analysis showing that ‘the role of sports in PE’ framed student ↔ PE relations and that this sports discourse regulated the relations, also within the Interest-based PE programme. The separation of students into an EA and a SA accentuated the sports discourse and students’ sports competencies, contributing to segregation on the basis of students' confidence, competence and ability in sports. Based on this study, we question the assumption that differentiation programmes, such as Interest-based PE, will optimise student ↔ subject relations if these relations remain governed by the sports discourse, rather than the PE curriculum.

The article reveals the importance of innovative pedagogical technologies and their implementation in the process of young preschoolers’ physical education; the views of both teachers of the past and modern scientists on the use of innovative methods of working with children have been analyzed. Attention is paid to the role of interactive techniques and innovative technologies in preschool education, their impact on the preschool children’s mental development and the enrichment of the younger preschoolers’ vocabulary in the process of physical education. The author has defined the essence of such concepts as «innovation», «technology», «pedagogical technology», «innovative pedagogical technology», and «innovative activity». The article reveals scientists’ different views on the concept of «pedagogical technology»; three groups of creative teachers engaged in the innovative activity have been defined. Innovative methods and techniques of applying interactive learning elements, which were used in a pedagogical experiment to enrich children's vocabulary in the process of physical education in the preschool institution educational process, have been stated. An example of the younger preschoolers’ vocabulary enrichment in the process of awakening gymnastics, which series are conducted in a playful way and accompanied by poems, has been given. The method of fairy tale therapy, due to which the educator will help the child to overcome fear, learn to jump over a cord and activate the child's vocabulary with such words as «jump», «rope», «both legs», «half-bent knees», «stick», «fear», «witchcraft», etc., has been offered. The solution of vocabulary tasks with younger preschoolers can be seen with the help of acupressure, which will enrich, activate and consolidate new and familiar words in children's vocabulary, and with the help of Fitball gymnastics, which is done while working both individually with children and in sports activities, children’s independent motor activity.

Research shows that sports-active students experience more basic need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, relatedness) in physical education (PE) than their non-sports-active peers, and thus, reap most of the benefits of PE. This study aimed to investigate the role of a two-year PE programme, referred to as Interest-based PE, in contributing to students’ basic need satisfaction in PE, and in particular, to assess potential basic needs-benefits among students who were not involved in leisure-time sport. Among 693 students, 348 were offered a choice of two different PE approaches (“explorative” vs. “sports” approach) for the next two years, while the remaining students continued to receive traditional PE. Girls, non-sports-active students, and students who experienced less need satisfaction in PE at baseline were more likely to choose the explorative approach, thereby signifying a wish for a less sports-centred PE. However, no significant differences in autonomy, competence, and relatedness need satisfaction were identified between Interest-based PE groups and their respective control groups over the course of the programme. Sports active students experienced more gains in relatedness need satisfaction than non-sports active students over the course of the programme, suggesting that challenges in promoting equal opportunities for learning in PE may require more than “Interest-based PE”.

A tanulmány azt elemzi, hogy mi a szerepe a testnevelő mentortanárnak a tanárjelöltek összefüggő egyéni szakmai gyakorlata során, valamint a mindennapos testnevelés bevezetése milyen új, összetettebb feladatok elé állítja a testnevelőket. A szerző kérdőíves módszerrel három területet vizsgált meg részletesen: 1. Irányító, szervező tevékenység a testnevelésórákon, spotfoglalkozásokon. 2. A  méréssel, értékeléssel kapcsolatos feladatok hatékonysága. 3.Az IKT-s módszerek és eszközök alkalmazása a mozgástanítás során. Az írás a tanári kompetenciákkal, az iskolában folyó tanórán kívüli tevékenységgel foglalkozva kitér arra is, hogy a tanárjelöltek milyen segítséget kapnak a fogadó iskolától, mentoruktól az összefüggő szakmai gyakorlatuk során.The study analyses what the role of the PE supervisor teachers during the student teaching of the teacher trainees is, and what new and complex tasks the PE teachers face as a result of the introduction of everyday physical education. The author examined three issues in details, using the query method: 1. leading and managing activities during the PE lessons and other sports activities; 2. the efficiency of the tasks connected to measurement and evaluation; 3. the application of ICT methods and tools during the teaching of motion. Discussing the teachers’ competences and the activities within the schools but outside the lessons, the paper also examines the help the teacher trainees get from the receiving schools and their supervisors during their student teaching practice.

This article presents the findings of 51 interviews with foreign national prisoners in Flanders (Belgium). Following an appreciative inquiry stance, the aim is to understand how foreign nationals experience (accessibility to) prison activities (for example, education, work, sports activities and worship) and to investigate if and how this differs between foreign-speaking and Dutch-speaking foreign nationals. A thematic analysis of the interviews revealed several components of the activities offered that were perceived by the foreign nationals to be ‘working well’ and revealed several dreams concerning the activities for foreign nationals. Within each theme considered, similarities and dissimilarities among foreign-speaking and Dutch-speaking foreign nationals are described. This article argues that foreign nationals are confronted with a new pain of imprisonment, namely ‘the pain of (non-)participation’. The findings could enable a shift from supply-driven to tailor-made activities for foreign national prisoners.

Objective: This study explored whether pupils’ state body satisfaction during physical education related to the degree to which they indicated that physical education stimulated them to engage in sports activities outside of school. It also investigated whether pupils’ self-determined motivation mediated this relationship, such that pupils with higher body satisfaction were more likely to value and enjoy the lessons, and to indicate they would re-engage in the activities outside of physical education. Methods: The study involved 506 13–14-year-old pupils (51.19% girls) in England, who completed validated questionnaires to measure perceived body satisfaction, motivation for physical education and the perceived sport promoting role of physical education. Results: Results showed that body satisfaction positively related to the perceived sport promoting role of physical education in girls. The relationship between state body satisfaction during physical education and the perceived sport promoting role of physical education was partially mediated by pupils’ self-determined motivation. Conclusion: Pupils who felt more comfortable and satisfied with their physical appearance seemed to value and enjoy physical lessons more, and this more positive experience stimulated them to re-engage in the activities outside school.

While collective identifications of diasporic Kurds have attracted considerable scholarly interest, their possible role in familial processes of post-trauma reconstruction has hardly been studied. The aim of this article is therefore to develop an explorative understanding of the deployment and meaning of collective identifications in intimate family contexts by examining the interconnectedness between the transmission of cultural and political belonging and post-trauma meaning-making and coping in Kurdish refugee families. After contextualising diasporic Kurds’ collective identifications through an ethnographic depiction of the Kurdish diasporic community in Belgium, this article reports on findings from a small-scale, exploratory study with five Kurdish refugee families in Belgium. Thematic analysis of family and parent interviews indicates how cultural and political identifications may operate as sources of (1) dealing with cultural bereavement and loss; (2) commemorating trauma; and (3) reversing versus reiterating trauma. Overall, this study’s findings support an explorative understanding of collective identifications as meaningful resources in families’ post-trauma reconstruction.ABSTRACT IN KURMANJIRola nasnameyên komelî di pêvajoyên malbatî yên vesazkirina paş-trawmayê de: Xebateke raveker li ser malbatên kurd ên penaber û civakên wan ên dîasporayêTevî ku nasnameyên komelî yên kurdên dîasporayê ta radeyeke baș bûye mijara lêkolînan, rola wan a muhtemel di pêvajoyên malbatî yên vesazkirina (selihandin) paş-trawmayê qet nehatine vekolîn.
