En este estudio analizamos las razones que justifican los cambios de desempeño laboral en los docentes de Educación Física (EF). De un modo concreto, nos preguntamos por las razones del desgaste profesional que sufren los docentes y que justifican los cambios y abandono de los docentes. Para ello desarrollamos un estudio descriptivo en el que participaron un total de 120 docentes de EF que realizan su función en las etapas de Educación Primaria y Secundaria en la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia. Para la obtención de información cumplimentaron un cuestionario, elaborado a partir del Teacher Follow-up Survey. Destacamos que, en general, el profesorado indica que la escasa valoración hacia la EF por parte de la administración influye mucho en dicho cambio de trabajo. Igualmente, otro de los factores determinantes del cambio de desempeño laboral es la escasa consideración hacia la EF por parte de las familias. Los docentes cuando deciden buscar un nuevo horizonte profesional suelen optar por un cambio de especialidad y la dedicación a tareas de gestión docente. Abstract. In this study we analyze the reasons that justify changes in job performance in Physical Education (PE) teachers. In a concrete way, we ask ourselves about the reasons for the professional burnout suffered by teachers and that justify the changes and abandonment of teachers. For this, we developed a descriptive study in which a total of 120 PE teachers participated, who perform their function in the stages of Primary and Secondary Education in the Autonomous Community of Galicia. To obtain information, they completed a questionnaire, prepared from the Teacher Follow-up Survey. We highlight that, in general, the teaching staff indicates that the low assessment of PE by the administration greatly influences this job change. Likewise, another of the determining factors of the change in job performance is the scant consideration for PE by families. When teachers decide to seek a new professional horizon, they usually opt for a change of specialty and dedication to teaching management tasks.

El propósito de este artículo es el de investigar las experiencias y recuerdos de las clases de Educación Física (EF) que tienen los alumnos y alumnas de la materia de Didáctica de la EF del grado de de maestro de la USC. Se ha hecho analizando el discurso que presentan los estudiantes de la materia, apoyándose en la teoría de la memoria autobiográfica, mediante textos autobiográficos de sus recuerdos de la EF escolar. Los participantes han sido 60 alumnos (47 mujeres y 13 hombres) de la materia Didáctica de la EF, de la titulación de Grado en Maestro de la USC. Para acceder a sus autobiografías se han usado relatos elaborados de sus recuerdos escolares. El análisis de los datos se ha usado desde un enfoque de indagación naturalista (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) a través de la lectura reiterada de los textos elaborados por los alumnos, identificando temas recurrentes y patrones que dan como resultado el establecimiento de categorías provisionales que, una vez decantadas, conforman los temas centrales y el contenido del discurso que expresan los textos. Estos se agrupan en torno a recuerdos agradables y positivos, memorias negativas e influencias del profesor. Estas concepciones que traen los futuros docentes sirven como contexto para confrontarlos con una idea de EF escolar que rompa estos estereotipos. Apoyada en una idea de EF inclusiva e integradora, favorecemos la adquisición de un espíritu crítico para que, como futuros docentes de educación primaria, construyan sus propios significados de la EF en la escuela y en su identidad profesional.Abstract. The purpose of this article is to investigate experiences and memories of Physical Education classes (PE) of students from the subject of Didactics of PE of the degree in Primary Education of USC. This has been done by analyzing the discourse presented by students of the subject, relying on the theory of autobiographical memory, through autobiographical texts of their memories of school PE. Participants were 60 students (47 women and 13 men) of the subject in Didactics of PE. To access their autobiographies, written accounts of their school memories were used. Data analysis was carried out from a naturalistic inquiry approach (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) through repeated readings of the texts written by the students, identifying recurring themes and patterns that result in the establishment of provisional categories that, once settled, constituted the central themes and contents of the discourse expressed in the texts. These are grouped around pleasant and positive memories, negative memories and teachers’ influences. These conceptions that future teachers bring serve as a context to confront them with an idea of school PE that breaks these stereotypes. Based on an inclusive and integrative idea of PE, we favour the acquisition of a critical spirit so that students, as future teachers of primary education, construct their own meanings of PE within the school context and in their professional identity.

Los materiales didácticos de la escuela son tema de interés de la comunidad educativa. Instituciones públicas y privadas, vienen promoviendo la recopilación de materiales y recursos en bibliotecas, repositorios, bases de recursos, etc. La incorporación de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) han impulsado la aparición de webs, plataformas digitales donde administración, editoriales, colectivos sociales recogen ingentes cantidades de materiales, gratuitos o de pago, pueden ser utilizados en el contexto educativo. De esta inercia también participa el área de Educación Física (EF), que ha visto cómo nuevos materiales introducen oportunidades para atender a la diversidad de alumnado. En este artículo, se presenta una reflexión sobre la necesidad de proporcionar en EF materiales digitales que faciliten la inclusión de todos los estudiantes en un proceso de aprendizaje colectivo óptimo para su progreso personal y social, lo que exige su rigurosa evaluación y análisis. Por este motivo, se proporcionan pautas y un ejemplo de qué y cómo evaluar un material para estudiantes de 5º de Primaria de EF recogido en la plataforma Abalar de la Consellería de Educación, Cultura y Deporte de la Xunta de Galicia.Abstract. School teaching materials are subject of interest in the educational community. Public and private institutions, have been promoting the collection of materials and resources in libraries, repositories, database resources, etc. The incorporation of the Information and Communication Technologies and (ICT) have promoted the emergence of websites, digital platforms where administration, publishers, social groups collected huge amounts of materials, free or paid, can be used in the educational context. The area of Physical Education (PE) also participates in this inertia, which has seen how new materials introduce opportunities to attend to the diversity of students. In this article, we present a reflection on the need to provide PE digital materials that facilitate the inclusion of all students in a optimal collective process to learn for their personal and social progress, which requires its rigorous evaluation and analysis. For this reason, guidelines are provided and an example of what and how to evaluate an educational material for elementary students, picked up on the site Abalar of the educational authority.

Since its introduction by OECD in 1997, the relevance of the concept of competence has been increasing within European education systems. The Spanish Education System has conferred competences a curricular key role in the last two education acts (LOE, 2006 and LOMCE, 2013). The implementation of a competence-based curricular approach involves bureaucratic changes, but above all methodological changes, whose main agent are teachers. After a decade of implementation, only a few studies have focused on the evaluation of this educational reform from teachers’ point of view. The aim of this study is to provide a national survey on Physical Education (PE) teachers’ perception of the competence-based curricular approach. A questionnaire was designed and validated to determine PE teachers’ perception of the contribution of PE to each key competence; teachers’ difficulties; and the suitability of the established PE curriculum to be carried out within the competence-based approach. A sample of 470 inservice PE teachers was obtained by using a random stratified sampling technique. Teachers showed a high perception of the potential contribution of PE to the development of the key competences, especially to those related to social and attitudinal aspects. Though, teachers believe that PE contents established in LOE are not suitable. Male, young, and public school teachers generally perceive a higher contribution of PE to the key competences than their fellow female, older, and private school teachers. Perceived difficulties in tasks development varied depending on educational stage and teachers’ experience.
