The training of physical education teacher in primary school

Abstract

In 2018 the Italian government has proposed a bill to develop Physical Education PE in Primary school. The focus is the qualifications of Primary teachers throughout PE degree course for teaching qualifications instead the generalist training, as well as it happens in secondary school. Aim is to point out the core curriculum to become a specialist teacher of PE in the Italian primary school. It is a mapping activity providing a comparative data from all 38 Italian degree course in PE. It based on declared learning outcomes of four areas of knowledge: 1. sport and physical activity; 2. biological, biomedical and clinical; 3. psicopedagogical; 4. historical, legal, economic, statistical and sociological. Results shows that the percentage of degree course that curriculum focus on PES is 34%, while the percentage of curricula, focused on biological, biomedical and clinical area is 63%. It seems that, despite University aims to train professional in the field of PE, the degree courses of PE are mainly shaped to build biological, biomedical and clinical skills instead professional skills of PES. The core curriculum should be aim on the strict elements of physical training and sport sciences methodology and should have the same structure plane of subjects on all of 38 universities.

Territorial survey on the interest in sport in the local territory of "Gian Camillo Glorioso" school

“…The sport and physical practice is one of the most important datum (Raiola, Di Tore, 2012) because it is very important to know if the people know the knowledge about physical activity , Mazzeo et al, 2018, Valentini et al, 2018, Sanseviero et al, 2018. To know the aspects about sport disability (Cassese, Raiola, 2018, sport performance , Rago, et al, 2016, Gaetano, Rago, 2014, sport assessment (Alminni et al, 2019, D'elia et a, 2019, Forte et al, 2019) sport leisure, sport pedagogy , Ceciliani et al, 2005, D'Isanto 291, 2016, sport education (D'Elia, 2019), sport wellness (Severino et al, 2019) and health. The ISTAT survey of 2015 highlighted that there are about 20.2 million people of 3 years and more who practise in their spare time one or more sports, equal to 34.3% of the population.…”

Self-perception about health and wellness effects on recreational five-a-side football athletes

There are researches carried out on specific sports, aimed at demonstrating what improvements can come from its practice (Ceruso et al, 2019, Giordano et al, 2019.…”

“…This transformation led to a diversification of curricula because of new professional profiles. Nowadays, Sport and Exercise Sciences degrees are not limited to train physical education teacher (it is needed a master's degree and a specialization course), but they offer curricula aimed for training of various graduation profiles for job positions in management of sport, sport science and adapted physical activity and sport (D'Elia, 2019).…”
