With regard to the previous article, where I made a connection between physical education in our country and the high percentage of sedentary lifestyle, attributing to discrimination which has made teaching sports in different educational levels (especially terminals), the responsibility for that the product is the high degree of physical inactivity, I would like to add a reflection:
The primary school physical education in our country, a model for many others, I mean the Physically, yesterday at the University of Chile, today the UMCE, to train teachers (I belong to this training) puts the emphasis on teaching Sports.
When we were students at our school, we had to spend at least two semesters in each sport, mastering the techniques and teaching, and in some cases to study the history, global and national brands, along with specific tactics.
Clearly curriculum corresponds to the mesh of a technical sport, especially in the absence of content associated with the formation of an adult active in physical exercise for health and quality of life.
A few days ago, DEFDER, Department of Physical Education Sports and Recreation (physical) served 99 years and to celebrate, conducted an alumni dinner, a beautiful reunion. But the activity that dominated the attention (highlighted by TVN) was the award of “Great athletes” who have gone through the school. Among them, Richard Tormes (cycling), Oscar Wirt (footballer), Juvenal Olmos (footballer) and others. Draws attention two things:
The first, the winners were not for his teaching, a school teacher that way.
The second, the teacher who organized the event, although it has devoted part of his life to physical training high-performance, has also been devoted to teaching at the university level, and most importantly, he himself has maintained his health and quality of life, not doing physical exercise and sports.
We will be waiting to 100 years of the beloved institution, añorando a transformation in the mesh curriculum and train teachers by their intentions able to confront the real challenges of physical education today.
