This article presents the partial results of a broader research on the conceptions and evaluative actions of six physical education teachers in high school in the city of Medellín (Colombia). Specifically, this paper presents the findings on one of its objectives: to analyze the decisions that teachers make before starting a didactic unit (planning on assessment). The research assumed a qualitative design, with a methodological approach of multiple case study. The strategies used for this purpose were the semi-structured interview and documentary analysis. The main findings of the study show that planning on assessment is not a specific activity that requires an interest on the part of the teachers, because their previous experiences give them the security to approach future units without adaptations according to the group or the subject to work on.

Constraints Model

Using the Social Ecological Constraints model, a qualitative multiple case study design was used to explore experienced and committed middle school physical education teachers’ perspectives on overweight and obese students (OWS), and how and why they acted to include OWS in physical education and physical activity opportunities in their school environments. Three themes emerged. 1) OWS are “the same, but different.” Teachers attempted to treat all students the same, but perceived variations among OWS’ participation in PE and related individual constraints. 2) Teachers’ concerns lead to individual goals and specific actions. Teachers identified specific goals and approaches to help individual OWS who needed extra attention. 3) OWS are a responsibility and challenge. Many of these teachers felt a responsibility to devote extra time and effort to help struggling OWS to succeed. These teachers avoided obesity bias, and exhibited beliefs and actions similar to a caring perspective.

This study aims at determining the science concepts and subjects used in the "religion courses" taught in secondary schools and the contribution of science to religion courses, which is not a widely studied topic in the relevant literature. Like qualitative research, this study is a multiple case study. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview with five Muslim religion teachers working in an eastern city of Turkey. The interview data were analyzed using the basic descriptive and content analysis methods. The findings showed that religion teachers benefit from the concepts and subjects of science in their courses; using life sciences in their religion courses had a positive impact in teaching religious subjects better to the students; the use of the concepts of life sciences in religion courses enabled students to perceive the subject better; students enjoyed the use of science concepts in religion courses and also students asked questions to their teachers about many subjects of life sciences. Religion teachers expressed that they did not feel competent enough in the life sciences. Some recommendations, such as organizing in-service training have been made for religion teachers to feel competent enough in life sciences.

Este trabajo analiza las percepciones del profesorado de Educación Física (EF) sobre los efectos y consecuencias que ha generado y/o genera la presencia del alumnado de origen extranjero en su labor profesional y en la dinámica de clase (aula ordinaria y sesiones de EF), además de los motivos que justifican su visión más o menos positiva (oportunidad y/o problema) sobre la misma. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio de casos múltiple con doce docentes que superan los cinco años de experiencia en escuelas públicas multiculturales con más del 50% de alumnado de origen extranjero. Los instrumentos utilizados para la obtención de datos son las entrevistas semiestructuradas y las observaciones no participantes, y para su interpretación, el análisis de contenido. Entre las conclusiones más relevantes cabe destacar que, según el profesorado de EF participante, dicha presencia no tiene consecuencias negativas en las clases de EF, de la que suelen tener una visión “romántica”. En cambio, los efectos sí son percibidos como más negativos en las otras asignaturas impartidas en el aula ordinaria, debido especialmente a los denominados “factores educativos” (falta de personal docente, desigual distribución del alumnado, pocas ayudas de las administraciones públicas, etc.) y a algunas características propias del “perfil de su alumnado” (bajo nivel académico previo, falta de escolarización previa, desconocimiento del idioma vehicular de la escuela).Abstract. This paper analyzes the perspective of Physical Education (PE) teachers on the effects and consequences provoked by the presence of foreign students in their regular and PE classes and in the class dynamics. Also, it aims to understand teachers’ reasons about their positive (or negative) perception of classes with foreign students. A multiple case study was conducted with twelve physical education teachers who had more than five years of experience in multicultural public schools (more than 50% of foreign students). Semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations were used to obtain data, and content analysis was employed to interpret it. As a general conclusion, this study revealed that PE teachers think that the presence of foreign students has no negative consequences in PE classes, which they usually have a "romantic" vision of. However, perceptions are more negative when courses are taught in the regular classroom, especially due to the so-called "educational factors" (absence of teachers, unequal distribution of students, little support of public administrations, etc.) and to some characteristics of the “students’ profile” (low previous academic level, lack of schooling, unawareness of the school official language, etc.).

This investigation aimed to analyze the performance of Physical Education teachers in monitoring and guiding the use of Outdoor Gyms equipment under the administration of the Council of Campo Grande / MS. The research is cross-sectional, quali-quantitative, descriptive-exploratory and field. The object of analysis were users of Outdoor Gyms, municipal managers and documents from sectors responsible for municipal sports and health policy. The structured interview and documentary analysis were used as research techniques. The results indicate that the majority of users do not have guidance and monitoring from Physical Education teachers; that the service locations are established based on the participation of visible and invisible actors, with attendance at times of less exposure to the sun. Most users do not understand the function of the gym equipment, which muscle group they exercise and are not autonomous for use, condition which may be related to the majority not having guidance and monitoring. It is concluded that the policy related to the Outdoor Gyms, regarding the orientation and monitoring of a Physical Education teacher, is inefficient.

Physical Education (PE) in elementary schools has so far been extensively geared towards achieving character goals. However, not all of these goals have been well accomplished by teachers. This research aims to examine three fundamental issues in PE practice, i.e., to define PE teachers perceptions of character education, to identify problems of PE teachers in promoting character education, and to determine whether PE teachers consider character education is plausible to be implemented through PE activities. This study used a case study and a content analysis in the qualitative research method. The data were obtained from 53 PE teachers who worked in 53 elementary schools from 26 sub-districts in Sumedang Regency through an accessible case sampling method. This study employed individual interviews (10-15 minutes) in a semi-structured interview technique. Content analysis was used to analyze the interview scripts. This study revealed that character education is defined as the process of individual alteration from family, school, and social life. Meanwhile, the teachers stated that the curriculum is considered to be not precisely accessible for the development of character education since they were still confused about curriculum implementation. However, they believed that PE is effective to promote character education.

Portanto, a responsabilidade com os processos de ensino está associada aos modos de investigação realizados pelos(as) docentes. Conclusão: Consideramos que o envolvimento com projetos e também com grupos de estudos das universidades, tanto durante a graduação quanto na pós-graduação, tornam o trabalho de cada professor(a) diferenciado em termos (auto)formativos. ABSTRACT. School physical education teachers-researchers: idiosyncrasies and support to teacher educa¬tion in Fortaleza’s (Brazil) metropolitan region. Background: We have investigated the characteristics of the educative processes of three teachers and the reasons underpinned by their mobilization as teachers who care about researching. Objective: The objective of our investigation is to understand the idiosyncrasies of these teachers, who investigate their own educational practices in basic education in the area of physical education in the city of Fortaleza and in the metropolitan region. Methods: Our study is based on qualitative research with the collaboration of physical education teachers from public schools of the State basic education network at Fortaleza. The collaborative research was carried out with one female teacher and two male teachers over one year and a half. Results: The main result of the research is the effective engagement of teachers with their educational practices. Therefore, responsibility for teaching processes is associated with the modes of research carried out by the teachers. Conclusion: We consider that the involvement with projects and also within academic groups at universities, both during undergraduate and postgraduate courses, differentiate the work of each teacher in (self) educative terms.
