Safety Guidelines

In 2008, the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training implemented a new circular with directives for water activities in schools and with a call for testing teachers’ water competence. This circular seems to align with international school safety policies, where additional regulations and safety guidelines are put into practice in school programs such as physical education. Despite this, studies that have applied a critical discourse perspective on regulative texts in physical education seem scarce. The purpose of this article is to examine how teachers’ risk and safety management in physical education is constructed in five regulative documents governing primary and secondary schools in Norway. Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse methodology has been applied to conduct a linguistic and contextual analysis of language. The analysis seems to reveal a discourse that challenge teachers’ autonomy and position. Because the discourse can appear to be neutral and imperative, it might be taken for granted in the field. The entrancement of a controller in examining teachers’ water competence seems to reflect ideals of revision and central control. This article therefore contributes to the understanding of regulative discourses and their power, in education and physical education.

A sample ( N = 200) of undergraduate students in physical education from 12 universities in a midwestern state was sent the 1990 Price questionnaire; 178 responded (89%). 96% of the respondents indicated that normal weight is very important in children, 88% agreed that physical education teachers should play major roles in treating childhood obesity. 92% believed their college courses prepared them to administer exercise programs to help children reduce weight, and 70% supported school-based weight-reduction strategies. Over-all, the students seemed to want to help eliminate childhood obesity and indicated they should become significantly involved in school programs designed to achieve this goal.

Equity And Inclusion

Purpose: Education policies require inclusive practices across student learning environments internationally. In Canada, provinces and territories oversee their own curriculum development. This study presents a critical discourse analysis of how inclusive education is addressed within Ontario’s 2015 Health and Physical Education Curriculum, Grades 9–12. Method: Fairclough and Chouliaraki’s approach to critical discourse analysis, which encompasses structural, linguistic, and interdiscursive analysis, was used to show how language is interwoven within ideologies of physical education to represent inclusivity. Results: Three discourses were identified: (a) the discourse of equity and inclusion, (b) the discourse of opportunity, and (c) the discourse of positive outcomes. The curriculum reflects inclusivity through overt language and intention, holding the possibility for choice and opportunities beyond traditional notions of physical education. Discussion: Concerns included whether ideals presented in the curriculum reflect the realities of “discourse in action.” Transformative discourses within physical education should emerge from the student voice.

Much of physical education curriculum in the developed world and specifically in Australia tends to be guided in principle by syllabus documents that represent, in varying degrees, some form of government education priorities. Through the use of critical discourse analysis we analyze one such syllabus example (an official syllabus document of one of the Australian States) to explore the relationships between the emancipatory/social justice expectations presented in the rubric of and introduction to the official syllabus document, and the language details of learning outcomes that indicate how the expectations might be satisfied. Given the complexity and multilevel pathways of message systems/ideologies we question the efficacy of such documents oriented around social justice principles to genuinely deliver more radical agendas which promote social change and encourage a preparedness to engage in social action leading to a betterment of society.

In many sporting events that have been held both nationally and internationally, Indonesia is still ranked below. Observations that have been made on PJOK teachers and trainers have found that they have not been able to identify and develop sports talent optimally by applying science. Research that has been done proves that an athlete is not only born but is also created through an appropriate talent identification program. There are at least two instruments that can be used to identify children's talents, namely I do and I Like. This application I like is online and saves and processes the data of children that we input and then will provide an output in the form of a dominant sport that is suitable for children. While I do in the form of tests of the ability of children with predetermined instruments. This service activity aims to: a) have skills in identifying and developing talent, b) understand and be skilled in using I do and I like instruments as part of talent identification, c) able to implement the management of talent identification instruments in their respective places. The method used uses the principle that every innovation received by PJOK teachers and trainers through PIE (Preparation, Implementation and Evaluation). This means that the delivery of innovations to Partners is taken through the stages of explanation, discussion, practice and evaluation stages are carried out with assistance in the learning and training process

Esta revisión teórica pretende explicar y reflexionar sobre lo que es la Educación Física de calidad y las competencias profesionales de los docentes de la materia para no confundirlo con el deporte escolar. Actualmente, son varias las instituciones que recomiendan una Educación Física de Calidad, y entre otros aspectos destacan que esta debe aumentar hasta las 3h lectivas a la semana tanto en la etapa de educación primaria obligatoria como en la secundaria. En la Comunidad Valenciana, el programa de “Esport a l’Escola+1h EF” propone que las federaciones deportivas se encarguen de desarrollar dicho proyecto dirigido a todo el alumnado de 3º y 4º de primaria en la hora de libre disposición y lectiva de los centros escolares anteriormente mencionados. Sin embargo, el docente de Educación Física (maestro/a y profesor/a) tiene unas competencias y formación específicas para poder acometer las funciones que le son propias y que, por lo tanto, difieren mucho de la de los técnicos o monitores deportivos, que, sin ser mejores ni peores, se desarrollan en otro contexto, con otros recursos, y con otro tipo de objetivos. La Educación Física y el deporte escolar son distintos pero complementarios. Existen otros cauces, como pueda ser el Proyecto Deportivo de Centro para fomentar la cohesión entre estos dos ámbitos, el educativo y el federativo.Abstract. This theoretical review aims at explaining and reflecting on what quality Physical Education and teachers’ professional competencies are, so as not to confuse it with school sports. Currently, there are several institutions that recommend a Quality Physical Education, and among other aspects they emphasize that this should increase up to 3 hours per week both in the stage of compulsory primary and secondary education. In the Valencian Community, the “Esport a l'Escola + 1h EF” program proposes that sports federations be responsible for developing said project aimed at all students in grades 3 and 4 during free time and based on the choice of the mentioned schools. However, Physical Education teachers (teachers and professors) have specific skills and training to be able to undertake the functions that are proper to their job, therefore, differ greatly from that of sports technicians or instructors, who are not better or worse, but work in another context, with other resources, and with other types of objectives. Physical Education and school sports are different but complementary. There are other channels, such as the Sports Center Project, to promote cohesion between these two areas, education and federation.

El presente estudio emplea un enfoque mixto de investigación para analizar las teorías implícitas y modelos de formación subyacentes a la percepción del rol asociado al profesor de Educación Física en estudiantes universitarios chilenos que comienzan su período de formación. Para ello, se utilizó una muestra de 77 alumnos pertenecientes a dos universidades (57,1 % de sexo masculino y 42,9% de sexo femenino) con edades entre los 18 y los 20 años (x: 19,2 años). Los resultados más significativos revelan la alta influencia de la experiencia previa en la valoración de la asignatura y en la percepción del rol docente así como un énfasis en atributos personales y actitudinales del profesor por sobre aspectos metodológicos, conceptuales y valóricos. A partir de ello, se observa el predominio del modelo pedagógico y la teoría educativa como teoría implícita subyacente a la percepción de rol docente y, con ello, el énfasis en un modelo práctico de formación para poder abordar de mejor forma la expectativa laboral ligada a la docencia. Se analizan las implicancias y desafíos que tal realidad conlleva para las universidades y centros de formación en la disciplina. Abstract. The present study used a mixed approach of research to analyze the implicit theories and models of formation underlying the perception of the role associated with physical education teachers in Chilean university students who begin their period of training. Therefore, a sample of 77 students (57.1% male, 42.9% females) from two universities, aged between 18 and 20 years old (x: 19.2 years), was selected. The most significant results revealed high influence of previous experience on the evaluation of subjects and on the perception of the teaching role, as well as emphasis on teachers’ personal attributes and attitudes above methodological, conceptual, and value aspects. Based on that, there is a predominance of the pedagogical model and of the educational theory as implicit theories underlying the perception of teachers’ role and, alongside, an emphasis on practical formation models so to better approach work expectations related with teaching. The implications and challenges that such reality entails for universities and training centers in the discipline are analyzed.

La formación inicial de los maestros especialistas en Educación Física ha “sufrido” profundos cambios con las reformas educativas. Lo que debiera seguir siendo igual de relevante es la importancia que tiene el hecho de que sean los propios alumnos quienes valoren la calidad de su formación como docentes especialistas futuros en esta área. En este estudio, nos servimos del instrumento validado por Moreno y Conte (2001) para la Valoración y Capacitación sobre la Docencia en Educación Física (V.A.C.D.E.F.), que hemos pasado a 39 alumnos del Grado en Educación Primaria, que cursan la mención en Educación Física, de un Centro de la Universidad de Cádiz. Entre los hallazgos más importantes, hemos de destacar que los alumnos se sienten, a nivel general, capacitados para desempeñar la labor docente futura, están de acuerdo con los contenidos que se imparten en su formación, se encuentran interesados por los aspectos técnicos de los deportes y por la especialidad en sí misma y apuestan por más clases prácticas dentro de su formación. Abstract. The initial training of Physical Education teachers has "undergone" deep changes along with educational reforms. What should remain equally relevant is that students, as future specialist teachers in this area, should be the ones who value the quality of their education. In this research, we use the tool validated by Moreno and Conte (2001), the Assessment and Training on Teaching in Physical Education (V.A.C.D.E.F.), which we applied to 39 Primary Education degree students who attend the program in Physical Education at a Center of the University of Cádiz. Among the most important findings, we emphasize that the majority of students feel well trained for carrying out the future teaching work. They agree with the contents that are imparted in their program, they are interested in the technical elements of sports and the specialty itself, as well as they strive for more practical classes within their training.

Objectives: In recent years, the status of sports in teaching activities has been continuously improved, and various schools have also increased the intensity of sports activities. In order to avoid sports injuries, enhance students’ physical fitness, and improve the quality of physical education and training, it is necessary to strengthen the responsibility of physical education teachers. Heart, improve their professional knowledge and skills, in-depth understanding of the characteristics of sports injuries, find out the cause of injury, strengthen prevention awareness, master how to treat in time, in order to improve the classroom effectiveness of physical education classes, to achieve better teaching and training results. Methods: After the injury occurs, the teacher should deal with it in time and further treat it afterwards, so as to alleviate the pain of the injured athletes and prevent complications. Results: It is a very serious problem that students are often injured in sports meeting, because injuries not only delay their participation in physical exercise, but also affect their normal study and life. Conclusion: Understanding the causes, occurrence rules, preventive measures and timely treatment of sports injuries can not only effectively achieve treatment and prevention, but also provide a basis for scientific participation in physical exercise or sports training.
