Análisis de las preferencias metodológicas del profesorado gallego de Educación Física en función del género y los años de experiencia docente

La Educación Física presenta cierta diversidad de enfoques metodológicos por parte del profesorado que la imparte, dado su carácter eminentemente práctico. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la posible influencia del género y años de experiencia docente en las preferencias metodológicas del profesorado de Educación Infantil y Primaria que imparte la materia de Educación Física en centros educativos de Galicia. La muestra estuvo constituida por 205 docentes de los cuales 57 eran mujeres (27.8%). Se realizó una recogida de datos a través del cuestionario validado Estilos de Enseñanza en Educación Física (EEEF). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el factor género en los estilos individualizadores (p < .001), cognitivos (p < .001) y creativos (p < .001). En cuanto a los años de experiencia docente, se han encontrado diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los estilos tradicionales (p < .001), en los individualizadores (p = .006), en los que fomentan la participación y socialización del alumnado (p < .001), en los cognitivos (p < .001) y en los creativos (p = .045). Se concluye que el profesorado con menos años de experiencia muestra una mayor preferencia por los métodos de individualización de la enseñanza, de socialización, participación del alumnado y enfoque metodológico que fomente la creatividad. Los métodos tradicionales son acogidos mayoritariamente en todas las etapas de experiencia profesional siendo más altos en la franja de profesorado con 6 a 11 años de experiencia. Por su parte, los profesores optan más por los estilos individualizadores, cognitivos y creativos que las profesoras, aunque en ambos casos emplean los estilos tradicionales. Estos resultados ayudan a mejorar los planes de formación de profesorado estableciendo estrategias que aborden diferentes perspectivas y enfoques metodológicos aprovechando así los beneficios de cada uno de ellos.

An Experimental Study Regarding Impact of 7E's Instructional Model Based Instructions upon Student's Attitude towards Physical Education Subject at Higher Secondary School Level

Increasing the interest of students of philology in physical education classes by means of specially selected moving games

The basis of teaching and educating students youth is the learning process, which should be organized so that it was quite difficult and interesting, but not overload the young organism. Today, in the conditions of transfer of physical education classes in some higher education institutions to the optional form of classes without significant levers of control and assessment of student‟s skills and abilities, the issue of students' interest in physical activity in universities is becoming increasingly important. According to the results of our survey, rating types of physical activity for modern students were established. The received list testifies to need of adjustment of the maintenance of educational programs and plans on a subject of physical education. The top five physical activities among students included stretching, Pilates, gymnastics and acrobatics, swimming and sports games.
 The study involved 124 students of the Faculty of Foreign Philology, who studied in 1-3 courses of the university. 3 experimental and 3 control groups were formed (one in each course). The pedagogical experiment consisted in filling the content of physical education classes with moving games, in which students had to apply their acquired knowledge of foreign languages (English), implement and test in practice non-standard methods of learning and improving a foreign language. The results of our pedagogical experiment show that integrated classes on physical education and learning foreign languages with the improvement of practical skills of their application increase the interest of students of philology to physical activity.
