El artículo tiene como propósito profundizar en la formación de profesores de Educación Física en Chile, desde una visión histórica, relevando las actuales políticas públicas que refieren a los procesos de Formación Inicial Docente.  Desde el punto de vista metodológico es un trabajo de orden cualitativo descriptivo, que tiene como procedimiento la investigación documental y bibliográfica. Los resultados indican que la disciplina ha estado presente desde el inicio de la formación de profesores en Chile, transitando desde una racionalidad técnica a modelos de carácter más bien pedagógicos. Se concluye que la Educación Física actual en Chile se debe orientar al desarrollo humano, integrando adecuadamente los componentes de actividad física, deporte y salud, bajo estándares pedagógicos y disciplinares. Al mismo tiempo, se observa que aún existen aspectos que se deben revisar y estudiar a objeto de perfeccionar los procesos de formación inicial de profesores, en el marco de la apuesta de desarrollo que ha hecho el Estado para la presente década. Summary. The aim of this article is to delve into physical education teacher’s training in Chile, from a historical perspective, highlighting current public policies in the processes of Pre-service Teachers Training. From this methodological point of view, this work is qualitative descriptive based on documentary and bibliographic research. Results show that physical education has been present from the begining of teachers’ training in Chile, moving from a technical rationality to models based on pedagogy. As a conclusion, current Physical Education should be oriented towards human development, integrating components from physical activity, sport and health, under the pedagogical and disciplinary standards. At the same time, there are still aspects that must be revised and studied in order to improve teachers’ pre-service processes, within the framework of development proposed by the State for the present decade.

Notwithstanding the contributions of a few policy experts, overall physical education is constrained by policy illiteracy and neglect. A brief historical perspective on physical education policy provides a foundation for “a policy primer” founded on three recurring needs: (a) antecedent and corequisite factors meriting attention in support of policy improvement, (b) field-wide capacity-building in support of policy advocacy and improvement, and (c) specialized policy courses and seminars in physical education teacher education and doctoral physical education teacher education programs. Recommendations for policy-focused research and development structure a new agenda that merits attention and action.

Scholars argue that movement content knowledge in physical education teacher education (PETE) needs to be revisited and problematised. In this paper we develop the concept of movement capability representing a widened view of movement content knowledge. If teacher educators want to teach movement capability as an intrinsic educational goal in PETE there is an apparent need to consider what to teach, how it is taught and also how movement capability is understood by the learners. The aim of this paper is to analyse how PETE students experience the meaning of movement capability through the teaching in aquatics, dance and ice-skating. This study takes its departure from a number of previous empirical studies investigating the meaning of movement capability. Interviews with seven PETE students, divided into two focus groups, were conducted on three occasions. A phenomenographic analysis shows four qualitatively different ways of experiencing the meaning of movement capability. Major differences that can be seen when comparing the results of a previous study on physical education teachers and students in PETE are the aspect of subjective experiences and the aspect of the observer. In the main, the students do not seem to take into account an observer’s point of view to the same extent as the group of teachers. The results will hopefully contribute to a deeper and more complex understanding of what can be seen as movement capability in PETE and physical education, and thereby enhance development of the teaching and learning of this capability.

Abstract Our research focuses on describing what is really happening when a teacher wants to transmit to pupils - girls and boys - knowledge socially marked as masculine. To describe the processes involved in effective didactic interactions between a teacher a pupil and knowledge, we opted for qualitative methodology, consisting on a close observation of the didactic interactions of a teacher with his pupils (girls and boys). Analysis of the interviews focused especially on the nature of knowledge actually transmitted for girls and boys. The studied video sequences permitted to study the didactic interactions more precisely as are actually happening on the pitch. Both tools allowed us to identify the educational intentions of teachers (specialist or not); women or men in the teaching of football. The results show that teachers’ conceptions influence implicitly or explicitly the modalities of their interventions and the nature of football knowledge transmitted to pupils. This makes us think that the impact of social facts (backgrounds) on Tunisian teachers is great. This phenomenon may lock the physical education teacher in some representations modeling masculine and feminine stereotypes and affect his didactic and teaching contribution. Therefore, the teacher must be aware of the impact of the connotation that may have certain “masculine” practices on his interventions and consequently over the pupils learning (either boys or girls).
