Teaching traditions in physical education in France, Switzerland and Sweden: A special focus on official curricula for gymnastics and fitness training

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify and discuss similarities and differences between the curricula for physical education (PE) in secondary schools in Sweden, France and the canton of Geneva (Switzerland) in the light of PE teaching traditions (PETTs). Teaching traditions concern ideas about the goals of school disciplines and therefore about the kind of learning pupils are expected to acquire. The paper focuses more specifically on two subjects, gymnastics and fitness training, because these physical activit… Show more

“…Physical fitness (PF) refers to the ability to perform daily activities with vigour, as well as the demonstration of traits and capacities associated with low risk of premature development of the hypokinetic diseases [ 1 ]. Its assessment is a traditional component of school physical education (PE) in European and North American countries [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Fitness testing is a controversial element of the PE curriculum, whose presumably demotivating effect on students with low performance is a matter of concern [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…According to Makela and Whipp (2015) study, physical education teachers' workload is considerable and worthy of review with the intention to extend their use-by-date and retain their experience-enriched expertise. That is why physical education and sport have contributed to the construction and constitution of the body in modernity, a body which can be disciplined and energised through mass educational to be productive (Forest, Lenzen and Ohman, 2017). In this research, authors focus on the influence of discipline and body fitness to the performance of physical education teachers.…”

“…En éducation physique, différentes strates coexistent dans les textes curriculaires. Elles relèvent de quatre traditions d'enseignement identifiées à la suite d'une revue de questions internationale : l'enseignement de l'éducation physique : i) comme enseignement de techniques sportives ; ii) comme éducation à la santé ; iii) comme éducation aux valeurs et à la citoyenneté et enfin, iv) comme éducation à la culture physique et sportive (Forest, 2017 ;Forest, Lenzen et Öhman, 2017). Cette revue de questions met en évidence que les quatre traditions d'enseignement sont largement répandues dans les pays occidentaux et nous en retrouvons des traces en France comme en Suède.…”

“…L'analyse a priori des tâches modélise le problème auquel les élèves sont confrontés mais également les difficultés potentielles susceptibles d'être rencontrées afin de donner un sens didactique aux actions du professeur et des élèves observées. Les deux niveaux d'analyse permettent par croisement avec les entretiens ante et post séance d'accéder aux « manières d'enseigner » des deux enseignants et d'identifier les possibles influences des « traditions d'enseignement » de chaque pays(Forest, Lenzen et Öhman, 2017). Si en France, les quatre traditions (voir section 2.1. supra) impactent le curriculum, en Suède, seules deux traditions (l'éducation physique comme éducation à la santé et l'éducation comme éducation aux valeurs et à la citoyenneté) sont explicitement présentes dans le curriculum officiel suédois de 2013(Forest, 2017).…”
