'We are the selfie generation!' : an ethnographic study of contemporary bodily culture within a Scottish school and physical education context

MacIsaac, Sarah Louise January 2016 (has links)
Schools are rich and intense social environments where young people constantly interact with one another, negotiate social relationships and construct their identities. The school context also influences how young people experience and relate to their bodies. Physical education can be especially influential here – an environment where young people learn about the body and through the body within a highly visible setting. Research has investigated how bodily meanings and power relations are constructed within schools and physical education but these processes are ever evolving. For example, the ingraining of online social interaction within young people’s lives currently adds new dimensions to how young people learn, interact and perceive themselves and their bodies. This thesis presents findings from a year-long ethnographic study located within a Scottish secondary school. Participant observation and qualitative interviews were used to explain the contemporary bodily culture amongst young people and to investigate how engagements with online social spaces were shaping young people’s bodily perceptions and practices. Findings evidenced three overarching tenets of informal pupil culture. These were: the centrality and importance of the body within social life; the omnipresence of online social spaces and online social interaction; and the development of a celebrity-esque culture amongst the pupil population. Accordingly, pupils constructed and negotiated hyper-risky social environments where the body and the self were hyper-visible, hyper-scrutinised and hyper-controlled. Working within a critical realist framework, theoretical insights from Erving Goffman, Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu were utilised to suggest that the online environment represented a very important and attractive medium for identity construction where young people had opportunities, and felt pressure, to create idealised images of themselves. Online self-presentation also had offline implications for how pupils behaved, viewed themselves and for how they perceived and treated others. Physical education therefore became an especially risky social space as it was characterised by a lack of control over bodily identity, which juxtaposed sharply with the intense control over self-presentation afforded online. The online realm was also a highly influential context for learning about health and the body and a space where looking ‘healthy’ was very fashionable. Accordingly, this thesis suggests that socially safe and critical environments should be constructed in physical education. The thesis also concludes by arguing that physical education has unique potential to contribute positively to young people’s lives through practical, experiential learning. Physical education can foster and create a refreshing culture, contrasting and challenging superficial dimensions of contemporary bodily culture. It can become a space that diminishes the significance of outward experiences: a space where young people positively experience their bodies and the world around them; where they can reflect and marvel upon such experiences; and learn to respect their own and each other’s bodies in a very intrinsic and deep sense.

O desafio da mudança na formação inicial de professores : o estágio curricular no curso de licenciatura em Educação Física

Scherer, Alexandre January 2008 (has links)
Esta Tese aborda a formação de professores de Educação Física com foco em uma experiência de Estágio Curricular Supervisionado desenvolvida em um modelo participativo que traz como questão central de pesquisa: Um processo participativo envolvendo a organização e o desenvolvimento do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado de futuros professores de Educação Física contribui para o desenvolvimento da autonomia e da consciência crítico-reflexiva dos estagiários? A partir do processo de reflexão sobre o papel da Educação Física na escola básica, a investigação pretendeu contribuir ao desenvolvimento da autonomia e espírito crítico dos estagiários em relação a seu compromisso social como professor e cidadão e à necessidade de reconhecer e respeitar as diferenças individuais e institucionais que constituem a realidade social e influenciam a ação docente. O referencial teórico discute na perspectiva das teorias críticas, as relações escola-sociedade, com ênfase no contexto brasileiro; a formação reflexiva de professores na educação superior a partir da articulação efetiva entre teoria e prática; tendências pedagógicas e situação atual da Educação Física escolar; a regulamentação que rege os Estágios Curriculares Supervisionados e seu espaço nos currículos de formação do professor. O caminho metodológico adotado no estudo apoiou-se nos pressupostos da pesquisa participante e da investigação-ação, uma vez que o estudo propôs o envolvimento efetivo dos participantes desde a configuração inicial do trabalho docente, envolvendo seu acompanhamento sistemático na perspectiva do processo ação-reflexão-ação. O estudo conclui que uma metodologia de cunho participativo é de difícil aplicação nos espaços institucionais devido às limitações temporais e materiais existentes, mas principalmente, em função da cultura pedagógica instalada na escola. Tais condições certamente tiveram influência no fato de não haverem sido verificadas alterações significativas em relação à prática cotidiana da Educação Física escolar, na escola que acolheu a proposta de investigação. Contudo, os dados coletados e analisados mostram que o caráter dialógico-reflexivo que marcou o estudo na vivência cotidiana no ambiente da escola, propiciou aos estagiários desenvolverem uma atitude crítica em relação à escola e ao ensino de Educação Física e a se sentirem mais autônomos no exercício de suas atividades como docentes. / This work is about Physical Education Teachers Formation centered in an experience of Supervised Curricular Training made through participative pattern which brings as main question to the research: Does a participative process involving the organization and development of Supervised Curricular Training from future physical education teachers contribute to the development autonomy and critical-reflexive conscience? From the process of reflection on Physical Education role in basic school, the investigation was thought to contribute for the development of autonomy and critical spirit of trainees in relation with his/her social compromise as teacher and citizen as well as the necessity to recognize and respect the individual and institutional differences which constitute the social reality and contribute to teacher’s action. The theoretical reference discusses on the perspective of critical theories, the school-society relations, emphasizing the Brazilian reality, the teachers’ reflexive formation from an effective articulation between theory and practice in graduated courses; its pedagogical tendencies and current situation of schooling Physical Education; and the rules that conduct Supervised Curricular Training and its place in the curriculum of teacher’s formation. The methodological way adopted to this study is based on the participative research and investigation-action because it was proposed the effective envelopment of participants since the initial teacher work configuration, involving its systematic attendance in the perspective of action-reflection-action process. The study concludes that the methodology based on participative way is difficult to use in institutional spaces because of temporal and material limitations existent, but principally, because of the pedagogical culture in schools. These conditions were influenced on the fact that it was not perceived significant alterations related to physical education everyday practice, in the school investigated. However, the collected and analyzed data show the dialogical-reflexive character propitiated to trainees develop their critical aptitude in relation with the school and to the Physical Education teaching as well as helped them to become more autonomous in their activities as teachers.
