THE CURRICULAR CHALLENGE FACED BY SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION: SYSTEMATIZATION OF AN ACTION RESEARCH STUDY CONDUCTED IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL

Abstract

In order to identify challenges emerging during the process of designing the curriculum and understanding how teachers seek solutions for them, we developed a qualitative action research study in which two Physical Education teachers participated. The data resulted in five categories for analysis: content selection, school knowledge, content complexity, school time, and theoretical input. When analyzing them, one can conclude that assuming the responsibilities inherent in teaching enables teachers both to point out problems and to forge solutions. These solutions should be proposed with the help of all those involved in the educational process, including educational institutions.
