Estrategias pedagógicas post confinamiento de docentes en formación en Educación Física

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the pedagogical strategies used by Physical Education Pedagogy training teachers at a university in south-central Chile who are doing their professional practicum, and the approach to classes after confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative methodology with a descriptive-interpretative scope was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 subjects who are doing their professional practicum in primary and secondary schools in municipal and/or subsidized private schools. The data were processed and analyzed using an inductive logic of categorization and content analysis. The results show that training teachers have the freedom to apply the guidelines provided in the curricular documents by the Ministry of Education, while highlighting that teaching and learning are significantly influenced by the characteristics and context of the students, as well as by the conditions of the educational establishments. It is concluded that face-to-face teaching has required the implementation of dynamic strategies, such as the use of educational applications and games and the integration of ICT to maintain students' attention. However, important challenges arise due to the decrease in effective class time, structural problems in schools, and a decline in students' learning levels and behavior after confinement, which complicates the fluidity and effectiveness of the educational process.
