Teachers in school sports: between the fields of education and sport?     

Magnus Ferry 《Sport, Education and Society》2016,21(6):907-923

According to the cultural sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, gaining access to a social space or a position within a social space requires a specific capital. For teachers, this is normally indicated by a valid teaching certificate with relevant subject knowledge. However, when no qualified teachers are available, which is the case for the subject of school sports in Sweden, other assets gain recognition. Drawing on Bourdieu's conceptual framework, this paper examined the conditions for school sports in Sweden, and based on questionnaires answered by 109 teachers, explored the competencies, education and backgrounds teachers in upper secondary school sports possess. The paper address the question: what valuable resources are required to become a teacher of school sports and gain recognition as symbolic capital? The results show that while school sports in Sweden are carried out through a school subject and thus regulated by the government, it is influenced by both the fields of education and sport. Furthermore, the questionnaire results show that a majority of the teachers are employed as coaches instead of teachers and that less than half of them (45%) have a teacher education background, while 95% have a coaching education background. However, the results also show that teachers assessed their competencies for teaching school sports as high, especially with regard to competencies in specific sport skills. In conclusion, this paper shows how coaching education and experience in competitive sports are an important resource required to become a teacher in school sports and is thus recognized as symbolic capital. Therefore, school sports cannot be viewed as a legitimate part of the field of education but can be viewed as a part of the field of sport.  相似文献   

Special educational needs in mainstream secondary school physical education: learning support assistants have their say     

Anthony John Maher 《Sport, Education and Society》2016,21(2):262-278

Learning support assistants (LSAs) gained more political and academic attention in Britain after Estelle Morris announced that schools of the future would include more trained staff to support learning to higher standards. LSAs, thus, should form an integral part of the culture of all school departments in Britain, including physical education (PE). The paper uses Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony to explore the processes and practices that shape the views and experiences of LSAs and ultimately the extent to which they facilitate an inclusive culture in PE. A web survey gathered the views and experiences of LSAs vis-à-vis the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream secondary school PE in North-West England. A modified version of the tailored design method participant contact strategy resulted in 343 LSAs starting the web survey, with 154 (45%) following it through to completion. All quantitative data were analysed using Microsoft Excel whilst qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis. This entailed the identification of recurring themes and patterns present in the data. The findings highlight the hegemonic status of English, maths and science when it comes to the allocation of SEN resources, which most LSAs support and often reinforce. PE is particularly disadvantaged in this hierarchy of subject priority. The majority of LSAs have not received PE-specific training, which brings into question their ability to facilitate inclusion in PE. Moreover, many schools do not appear to value the involvement of LSAs in the planning of differentiated lessons, which could have a negative impact on the PE experiences of some pupils with SEN given that LSAs are perhaps most aware of the specific learning needs of the pupils they support.  相似文献

Gandhian education in Bali: globalisations and cultural diversity in a time of fundamentalisms     

Laurence Tamatea 《Compare》2006,36(2):213-228

The paper presents findings from a research project undertaken at the Taman Rama Gandhi School in Bali during the first anniversary week of the Bali Bombings in 2003. It explores the school's response to four key components of Gandhi's model of Basic Education (Nai Talim) and shows that the claimed curriculum is framed by two contradictory discourses: a globalisation from above discourse and a Gandhian discourse of tolerance and peace, more consistent with a globalisation from below discourse. The argument is made that the curriculum's commitment to the neo‐liberal capitalist values of the globalisation form above discourse may ultimately thwart the emphasis upon peace and tolerance in the discourse from below.  相似文献

马林来华与共产国际联孙方针的确定     

黄黎 《安徽教育学院学报》2006,24(5):13-18,124

中共一大以后,马林开始与中国国民党接触,与孙中山会晤并讨论了和苏俄建立联盟的可能性。通过全面的考察,马林认为中国国民党不是一个资产阶级政党,而是多阶级的联盟,孙中山是真正的民族主义者,为此他向中共建议:到国民党中去开展政治活动,同时不放弃自己的独立性。在马林的主导之下,中共中央杭州特别会议通过了中共党员以个人身份加入国民党,以进一步建立民主联合战线的提议。而随后召开的中共三大通过的决议案,贯彻了马林的意见。马林提出的国共合作,被称作“斯内夫利特战略”,亦即“马林战略”。  相似文献

关于《国际商法》课程实施双语教学的思考     

杨成 《辽宁教育行政学院学报》2007,24(1):83-85

为了适应我国对涉外法律人才的需求,本科院校法学专业先后开设了《国际商法》课程。《国际商法》课程实施双语教学,既是课程教学目的和教学要求的需要,也是时代发展对涉外法律人才的需要。为了满足上述两种需要,国际商法双语教学就应有明确的实施思路,使学生通过该课程的学习掌握语言技能,并熟练地运用语言从事专业工作。  相似文献   

电子学习与远程教育的实践、创新、未来——第6届“Learning Futures Festival”在线国际会议综述     

谭明杰 《现代远程教育研究》2011,(4):56-60

2011年4月第6届＂Learning Futures Festival＂在线国际会议召开。会议采用英国、美国、澳大利亚三个时区国家接力的方式完成。与会专家学者特别关注开放教育资源及Web2.0背景下的教育创新。未来10年全球高等教育面临巨大的增长需求,开放教育资源运动的推进,将可能出现开放教育资源大学。开放共享理念逐步深入人心,Web2.0在教育和企业领域的广泛应用将改变人们的学习和工作环境,学习者和企业员工应当提升自我的数字素养技能以激发自身的创新潜能。我国远程教育面临资源可重用性较低和开放性不足等问题,在今后的发展中应借鉴发展中国家远程教育院校和企业学习的成功经验,加强教育资源开放共享的程度,整合电子学习技术在远程教育中的创新应用,以满足学习者个性化的学习需求。  相似文献   

融合国际理解教育思想的国际远程协作学习研究与实践     

戴锡莹  王以宁 《现代远程教育研究》2011,(4):61-65

国际理解教育是一种引进与输出相统一的教育,其目标是通过对人才的国际化培养,最终在全球建立一种＂和平文化＂。我国当前高等教育的人才培养模式,已经不能满足社会对国际化人才数量和质量的需求,而开展国际理解教育正是实现此目标的重要培养途径之一。中国东北师范大学现代教育技术研究所与日本冈山理科大学研究所采用视频会议系统和社会性软件为中日两国学生提供了实时交流和非实时交流的远程协作平台,历时5年的项目研究表明,中方学生在知识视野、认知技能、情感态度及价值观三个层面的国际理解能力都有明显的提高。我国高等教育院校和机构在培养国际化人才的过程中,应进一步强调开放式学习的理念,创新高等教育教学模式,强化国际理解教育的人才培养目标,构建稳定的国际交流体系。  相似文献
