O embate do encontro: o currículo cultural da educação física como lugar de conflitos

O embate do encontro: o currículo cultural da educação física como lugar de conflitos Resumo: Neste artigo, tenciona-se aproximar, problematizar e refletir sobre a relação entre duas divindades gregas: Dionísio e Apolo - e o Currículo Cultural da Educação Física. Buscamos amparo metodológico na criação filosófico conceitual, pois sua utilização pode redesenhar relações estabelecidas e permitir jogar com elementos distintos e, inicialmente, não aproximáveis. Influenciados por Dionísio, ao final, trazemos duas criações pedagógicas a fim de transgredir os limites dados pelo "excesso de Apolo" na escrita acadêmica.Palavras-chave: Educação Física; Currículo Cultural; Filosofia. The fight of the meeting: the curriculum of physical education as a place of conflicts Abstract: In this article, we intend to approximate the relationship between two Greek deities: Dionysus and Apollo - and the Cultural Curriculum of Physical Education. We seek methodological support in the conceptual philosophical creation, as its use can redesign established relationships and allow us to play with different and, initially, not approximable elements. Influenced by Dionísio, at the end, we bring two pedagogical creations in order to transgress the limits given by the "excess of Apollo" in academic writing.Keywords: Physical Education; Cultural Curriculum; Philosophy.

Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Narrative Inquiry

There is a need to move from a policy curricular perspective to a pragmatic orientation of the curriculum so that issues of teaching and learning may sharpen into focus in relation to learning interactions between teachers and students. An experiential perspective on the curriculum through narrative inquiry would contribute significantly to the existing literature. Further work highlighting students’ and teachers’ lives serves to underscore natural overlaps between cross-cultural and multicultural vantages on research in education. Narrative inquiry work in the areas of multicultural curriculum and cross-cultural curriculum are seminal for supporting a vision emphasizing experience. Data drawn from experiential research that combines multicultural curriculum and cross-cultural curriculum may inform policy and practice from a contextualized vantage. Narrative inquiries that adopt multicultural and cross-cultural lenses represent tremendous potential for extending educator professional development and enhancing understanding of students’ school experiences.

Resisting Assimilation to the Melting Pot:

The melting pot metaphor suggest that people from different backgrounds come to the United States and through the process of assimilation adapt to a new lifestyle integrating smoothly into the dominant culture. This article argues that immigrants from diverse cultural and ethnic groups that try to keep some of their cultural traditions may encounter conflict when trying to adapt to their life in the new context. The author contends for a cultural curriculum of the home endorsing family cultural values and traditions tha is overlooked by schools and educators, disregarding its potential for enhancing children’s learning process and academic achievement.

Avaliação e registro no currículo cultural da Educação Física

<p>A avaliação abarca um dos temas mais controversos e polêmicos dentro do sistema educacional. De acordo com a atitude curricular, essa prática adquire os mais variados contornos, podendo assumir desde um caráter classificatório e excludente, até um caráter investigativo ou analítico. Adotar esse segundo viés implica o desprendimento da quantificação, da atribuição de valores para aprendizagens ditas bem-sucedidas e a classificação dos estudantes. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a função que o registro adquire no currículo cultural da Educação Física. Para tanto, submetemos ao escrutínio documentação pedagógica elaborada por um professor que atua em uma escola estadual paulista, analisando como reorganiza suas ações didáticas de acordo com os registros das atividades de ensino e das respostas dos estudantes. Os resultados evidenciam o potencial do registro como recurso para a avaliação do trabalho realizado e a consequente reorientação da rota.</p><p>Educação Física, Avaliação, Currículo Cultural, Registro.</p><p> </p><p>Evaluación y registro en el currículo cultural de la Educación Física</p><p>La evaluación abarca uno de los temas más controvertidos y polémicos dentro del sistema educativo.

Adopting the latter implies disregarding quantification and the assignment of values for successful learning, as well as the classification of students. The purpose of this article is to analyze the function that the documentation acquires in the cultural curriculum of Physical Education. Thus, we scrutinized pedagogic documentation prepared by a teacher who works in a public school in São Paulo state, analyzing how didactic actions are reorganized according to the records of teaching activities and student responses. The results show the potential of documents as a resource for the evaluation of the work performed and the consequent reorientation of the route.</p><p>Physical Education, Evaluation, Cultural Curriculum, Documentation.</p>

Curricula in Teacher Education for Diversity in the University of Namibia

Namibia’s classroom compositions are diverse. Its policies on diversity reflect international practices of achieving Education for All. It advocates for teacher education that is responsive to the country’s needs. What is unknown is what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education. This article focuses on the nature of the UNAM’s B.Ed. curriculum and how students learn its contents. I argue that teacher education for diversity should go beyond traditional teacher education programmes. Its curricula should adopt a socio-cultural view. Coursework and teaching practice should reflect the needs of learners and society. Data collection consisted of documents, and interviews. Content analysis was used. Findings revealed that teaching practice lacked dedication in regard to diversity teaching. Consequently, the B.Ed. Programme partially equipped students with competencies to teach diverse learners because coursework alone cannot suffice. The study contributes to knowledge of what a socio-cultural curriculum means in Namibian teacher education.
