González-Palomares, A.; Táboas-Pais, M.I. & Rey-Cao, A. (2017). La cultura corporal en función del género: Análisis de los libros de texto de educación física de secundaria publicados durante la ley orgánica de educación. [The body culture according to gender: Analysis of secondary physical education textbooks published during education organic law].

The aim of this paper is to show how images of disability are portrayed in physical education textbooks for secondary schools in Spain. The sample was composed of 3,316 images published in 36 textbooks by 10 publishing houses. A content analysis was carried out using a coding scheme based on categories employed in other similar studies and adapted to the requirements of this study with additional categories. The variables were camera angle, gender, type of physical activity, field of practice, space, and level. Univariate and bivariate descriptive analyses were also carried out. The Pearson chi-square statistic was used to identify associations between the variables. Results showed a noticeable imbalance between people with disabilities and people without disabilities, and women with disabilities were less frequently represented than men with disabilities. People with disabilities were depicted as participating in a very limited variety of segregated, competitive, and elite sports activities.

Los contenidos de la Educación Física en Secundaria: un análisis de las actividades físicas que se enseñan en las imágenes... EDUCACIÓN FÍSICALos contenidos de la Educación Física en Secundaria: un análisis de las actividades físicas que se enseñan en las imágenes de los libros de texto* resumenEste estudio analiza las actividades físicas que se muestran al alumnado de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria a través de las fotografías de los libros de texto para el desarrollo de los contenidos del área de Educación Física. La muestra estuvo formada por 3.316 imágenes publicadas en 36 libros de texto de 10 editoriales españolas. El análisis de contenido se llevó a cabo mediante un sistema de categorías elaborado ad hoc. El proceso de construcción del sistema se articuló en 5 fases: 1) Prueba piloto inicial, 2) Segunda prueba piloto, 3) Consulta a expertos, 4) Segunda consulta a expertos, 5) Triangulación con tres observadores. Las variables del estudio fueron: tipo de actividad física, ámbito de práctica y nivel. El análisis estadístico se efectuó mediante un análisis descriptivo univariante. Los resultados muestran que los contenidos desarrollados en los libros de texto de Educación Física están sujetos a un modelo tradicional, vinculado a los contenidos de condición física y deporte. Aunque existen editoriales que continúan difundiendo un modelo basado en la competición y el alto rendimiento, emergen indicios que señalan el inicio de un proceso de cambio por parte de algunas editoriales.Palabras clave: educación física, educación secundaria, libros de texto, imágenes, currículo abstract The Content of Physical Education in Secondary Schools: An Analysis of the Physical Activities That are Taught in the Images in TextbooksThis study examines the physical activities that are displayed to compulsory secondary education students through the photographs in textbooks in order to develop the contents of the Physical Education curriculum. The sample consisted of 3316 images published in 36 textbooks produced by 10 Spanish publishers. Content analysis was conducted using a system of categories developed ad hoc. The process of building the system was structured into 5 phases: 1) initial pilot study, 2) second pilot study, 3) expert consultation, 4) second expert consultation, and 5) triangulation with three observers. The study variables were type of physical activity, scope of practice and level. Statistical analysis was performed using univariate descriptive analysis. The findings show that the content developed in physical education textbooks is the result of a traditional model, linked to the content of fitness and sport. Although there are publishers who continue to convey a model based on competition and high performance, signs are emerging that mark the beginning of a process of change by some publishers.
