Praxeological analysis of the internal thinking of games by physical education in-training teachers

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the use of games which are implemented by trainee teachers within PE classes. Types of games will be analyzed according to its internal logic associated with the use and objectives set. Games will be broken down by their effect from the perspective of the kinetic Praxiology. Questions expected to be answered: What is the internal logic of games implemented by trainee teachers during PE classes in their practice and what goals guide their use? This is a descriptive, transversal, non-experimental study. The non-probability sample for convenience consists of 37 teachers in training who perform their professional practice in classes going from Kindergarten to 8th grade of educational institutions from different dependency. A pattern of observation by supervisor teachers practice applies. The results show that games implemented by the sample subjects are social kinetic type, where it is used mixed communication, i.e. kinetic communication and counter communication while the role of the participants is stable. The purpose of the games is activation variants, small tools are used and duration goes usually 6-10 minutes. Trainee teachers set the rules of the games, where all students participate.
