Physical Education: teacher training and inclusion

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2

Abstract

The teachers‘ training to dynamize and to act in inclusive educational contexts, is a matter of major relevance. Several authors have drawn attention to the importance of education in teachers‘ values and practices. In this paper, we seek to problematize this education taking into account the prevalent and dominant values of Physical Education. We discuss their specific difficulties that are related to an exacerbated meritocracy and rare practices of differentiation and curricular adaptation. This text also includes a testimony ‗in the first person‘ of a Physical Education teacher with a deficiency condition in which she emphasizes the influence of the education she received in the education she provides.
