The problem of specificity - disciplinary exclusivity in Physical Education: contributions of Motor Praxiology and presentation of an explanatory case

Abstract

Objectives: To present, from an epistemological approach, the study of official Institutional Curriculum Designs (DCI) for the training of Physical Education teachers in Argentina, in order to detect and analyze the presence of subjects and descriptors that include specific contents of this discipline. Methodology: This study used qualitative and quantitative techniques applied within the scope of the document content analysis method. The criteria, parameters, classifications and lexicon underlying the task are those proposed by Praxiología Motriz. Results and Discussions: In the research, we highlight the essence of the practices from a systemic structural paradigm, taking into account those distinct and pertinent aspects of the internal logic of a motor situation, thus moving away from any mechanistic and decontextualized conception of traditional Physical Education. Final considerations: In this perspective, variables and categories were constructed that include and group the specific contents of Physical Education, taking into account the current rules for structuring teacher training and the principles of Motor Praxiology.
