ABSTRACTThe birth of digital tablets implies a revolution with the use of mobile information. Physical education, given the time-space characteristics in which it is carried out, is an ideal field in which to include this type of device. The present study analyzes the motivation that is produced in adolescent students by working with tablets; through this, it is proposed that tablets be introduced in the conceptual aspect of the subject, thus substituting the theoretical final evaluation exam. In order to carry out this study, two activities have been proposed: 1. Filming and analysis of the different rules in basketball via collaborative development of explanatory material for such rules and, 2. Analysis of video recordings of individual technical movements in badminton by use of specific software that is available free of cost.RESUMENLa aparición de las tabletas digitales supone una revolución en el tratamiento de la información móvil. La Edu-cación Física, debido a las características espacio-temporales en las que se desarrolla, es un ámbito idóneo para incluir este tipo de dispositivos. El presente estudio analiza la motivación que genera en alumnos adolescentes el trabajo con tablets y, para ello, proponemos introducirlas en el aspecto conceptual de la asignatura sustituyen-do al examen teórico final de evaluación. Para llevar a cabo este estudio hemos propuesto dos actividades: 1.- la grabación y análisis de diferentes normas del baloncesto junto con la elaboración de manera colaborativa de material explicativo de las mismas, y 2.- el análisis de grabaciones de vídeo de gestos técnicos individuales de bádminton mediante un software específico gratuito. La investigación considera la motivación y la mejora de la competencia digital empleando como técnica de recogida de datos una encuesta realizada a 28 alumnos con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y los 17 años. Los resultados obtenidos nos llevan a señalar que existe una tendencia hacia una mayor motivación del alumnado respecto a la asignatura de Educación Física, así como una notable percepción de mejora en la competencia digital de los adolescentes.

Physical Education is one of the subjects that arouses the most interest in children. The aim of this study is to find out the opinion that primary school students have about the Physical Education class. Drawings from a sample of 62 students from an educational centre in the city of Jaén, aged between six and eight years old, were analysed. The results show that the larger size of the drawings corresponds to the aspects that are to be emphasised. This subject is carried out regularly in the sports pavilion of the centre, making frequent use of materials such as sticks, hoops or balls. Cheerful colours are used, reflecting their enthusiasm for the subject. The smiling facial expression represents the schoolchildren’s interest in the subject. The most popular games or sports are basketball and pichi, both of them collective.

The implementation of pedagogical models (PMs) in the subject of Physical Education (PE) is presented as a pedagogical approach that is based on the educational context as a means to overcome the serious limitations that arise from traditional approaches. The effective implementation of this approach has demonstrated benefits in terms of student motivation, student involvement and improved learning. Thus, its application and international relevance, the variability of content covered, the possibility of replicability in a variety of contexts and the fact that it favors a reflective framework and common action by teachers are some of the reasons that justify its use. In this sense, the need for teacher training, as well as the intention to generate more scientific evidence based on its application in the classroom, are some of the key aspects to be taken into account for its implementation and consequent consolidation in the educational field.

This article explores the relations between teachers’ visual cartographies and oral narratives to better understand the spatial and temporal relations on teacher learning. It builds on a research project whose main questions were: 1) How and where do secondary school teachers learn to teach? 2) What are the consequences of this learning in their pedagogical relations and their students’ learning processes and results? Since narrative research has been a common way of approaching the subject and have led to an emphasis on learning as a journey across contexts and over time, some of its contributions to explore teachers’ learning paths are theoretically discussed, and visual methods, particularly cartographies, are also examined. Furthermore, the article presents the analysis of cartographies and video recordings of 29 secondary school teachers focusing on the interactions in different spaces and moments in time described by them. Findings suggest that learning to be a teacher may happen in interactions with objects, people and spaces beyond the boundaries of school, university and formal places of training and learning. They also show that the rhizomatic character of the cartographies may not prevent teleological thinking or the idea that any kind of learning is purposeful. Finally, this paper concludes that teachers’ learning does not fit the representational frame that distinguishes between formal contents and leisure activities, classrooms and private spaces, lessons and bodies, emotions and knowledge.

We typically conceive of sensation as a residue of empiricism and idealism, both of which claim to reduce our experience to a sum of elementary data that the subject encounters. For Merleau-Ponty, sensation is none of these things: it defines our ability to let ourselves be solicited by the relief and questions of the world. What is sensed is not an inert datum but a gesture of existence that concerns me, invites me to correspond to it and follow it. When I respond to the invitations of what I sense, the connection between me and the world functions as the immobile axis around which the whirls of a whirlwind are formed. Whirlwind of sensation or whirlwind of sleep, because sensing is also made of a night time-space in which the connection with things seem to be broken. The inertia of sleep is whirling in its own way, just as the dynamism of sensation has its own condition of possibility in an immeasurable measure of apathy and indifference.

This aim of this research is to explore and analyze to what extent the strategies to which physical education didacticsin Tunisia contributed to address the duplication of gender stereotypes. A typical approach with binary choiceregression was applied to analyze data obtained from questionnaires completed by 1326 adolescent students (724girls and 602 boys) from Tunisia. Results relieved that sport opportunities are limited by the separate expectations ofmales and females in physical education and sport settings. The analysis reveals that gender stereotypes affect girls'sports activities and that is particularly true for sports suitable for boys. The effect of the appropriated stereotype wassignificantly higher for sports practices perceived as masculine. The research ends with imminent based on thedistinction between gender skills and gender interest and implications for sport activities in order to enhanceparticipation, enjoyment, and wellbeing of people in physical education and sport activities. Hence, the need todevelop an internal logic of practice of sports activities by repeating individual and sexual differences.

This study analyzed Spanish teachers' behavior and the transmission of gender stereotypes. We observed 48 physical education lessons given by four Spanish teachers (two men and two women). Descriptive codes, which were generated iteratively, were clustered, categorized, integrated, recoded, and re-categorized. They allowed us to identify four major themes related to the transmission of gender stereotypes of teachers: male generics, stereotyped expressions, nominative attention, and priority order. We used a coding sheet as well as audio and video recordings to register the categories. The Kruskal-Wallis test produced significance levels lower than .05, resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis. Sexist behavior was found in the male generics, nominative attention, and priority order. However, we found no difference in stereotyped expressions.

Empirical observations reveal low enrolment of senior secondary school students for physical education at external examination bodies. The poor rate of students' choice of the subject at this level is a matter of concern to professionals, given the fact of monumental benefits of physical education as a science subject to humanity. The study was conducted to examine how psycho-administrative factors influence the choice of physical education by senior secondary school students at external examination bodies (in Nigeria) to come up with modalities to increase enrolment of the subject at external examination bodies. Descriptive method was applied for the study due to large respondents involved. Self-developed validated questionnaire tagged psycho-administrative determinants for choice of physical education among senior secondary school students at external examination bodies (PADGPEAS) was applied for the research. Out of three thousand and twenty-four (3024) questionnaire forms administered, only two thousand and fifty (2950) copies completed and returned were coded for analysis, with the use of descriptive statistics of percentages and nonparametric statistics of Chi-square (x 2) at 0.05 level of significant. Results unraveled a remarkable influence of psycho-administrative variables on the choice at physical education among senior secondary school students at external examination bodies. Based on this outcome, it is suggested that utilization of variety of methods by physical education teachers will go a long way to kindle the interest of the students for the subject. Enlightenment of students and parents on the values of physical education will facilitate remarkable positive attitude of both parts that relocate their position in favor of the subject.

<p>Tianshui city, located in China’s ancient cultural center in Gansu Province, includes a large rural area known as Qinzhou. This area houses pockets of traditional martial arts culture, which allow one to savor the past in the present, even in the face of China’s unprecedented economic development and social change in recent years. The picture described in this short article is based upon the author’s visits to Tianshui, most recently in 2007, on-site discussions with Professor Cai Zhizhong, who teaches martial arts in the physical education program of Tianshui Normal College, and Professor Cai’s writings on the subject. While the modernization taking place throughout China cannot help but have an influence on Tianshui’s traditional martial arts practices, one comes away hopeful that the strong historical awareness and sense of cultural pride exhibited by the area’s residents will insure a continuing role for Tianshui’s traditional martial arts.</p>
