LEARNING THE VALUE OF TIME IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

This article analyzes the pedagogical practices of Physical Education in a specific context in order to describe how they promote the learning of time. Using ethnography, we obtain the activities proposed by the Physical Education teachers of a school in Meliana, Valencia (Spain). 82 motor tasks are collected, analyzed and contextualized in the educational framework. Results in the light of educational sciences show a tendency to perform tasks without memory of outcome in which there is no end marked by rules and to perform activities with memory in less time, in which participants are classified according to outcomes. The school guides students to learn to freely manage their time and the socio-affective relationships that take place in it, and to adapt to the social rhythms imposed and the emotions derived from them.
