Year: 2000
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this lecture, I shall present an anthropological approach to teaching physical education. I first propase a conceptual framework, and then illus trate sorne of its principal dimensions using the results of studies. P.E. tea ching is analyzed asan action that has a number of unique properties, but that also has the generic features of all human action: it is goal-oriented and meaningful, it is organized, and it develops in a physical, social, and cultural context. The theoretical assumptions underlying this research pro ject are based on a conception of action that can be summarized in three points: action is a situated activity, action is a meaning-building activity, and action has self-organizing properties. The main purpose ofthis project is to contribute to the development of a theory of teaching in physical edu cation. I shall deal in-depth with each of these three basic theoretical points and illustrate them with data obtained from various studies. l. PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHING AS A SITUATED ACTION
