Imaginarios sociales sobre educación física y la práctica docente en primaria en el colegio I.E.D Almirante Padilla

Abstract

This research document seeks to understand the imaginaries that exist within the development of the physical education, recreation and sport area and the dynamics of the pedagogical practices implemented by teachers, taking into account that currently there is no regulation that allows having in the primary school courses a teacher specialized in corporeality and the teachers who accompany it are applying their imaginary in childhood in practice. In this way, the theoretical framework has been approached from the construction of three categories that are intertwined, allowing to find the imaginary meanings that exist on physical education and how these affect educational practices, therefore, the training of teachers and their life stories. influence the development of the area's own dynamics and objectives. This is how the research question is: ¿ What are the social imaginaries of physical education that a group of primary school teachers have from campuses B and C of Colegio Distrital Almirante Padilla in the town of Usme? And to respond to it, the study was carried out from a qualitative paradigm, with an interpretative approach, taking into account the approaches of the author Castoriadis (1975) who addresses the theory of imaginaries as fundamental infinite elements in the subjects that are permeated by culture, having the possibility of reproducing and remaining in time or of transforming itself by changing aspects of social life; This is how this allows me to know the realities of teachers in their way of doing, feeling and thinking about the practices of physical education, recreation and sport. From the line of research of the specialization in Childhood Culture and Development of Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas and the emphasis on History, Imaginaries and Social Representations, the interest arises in contributing ways of understanding childhoods, recognizing the importance of the actors who surround them and that have the possibility of transforming and improving the lives of children and adolescents.
