“…This suggests an important role for teacher education in providing students with opportunities to examine the discourse positions they take up and their ideas and values associated with health and the body. This is a role already taken up by some teacher educators in the field (Dinan- Thompson, 2004;Garrett & Wrench, 2008;Kirk, 1986;Sicilia-Camacho & Fernandez-Balboa, 2009). As Beyer (2001, p. 154) states, 'understanding and analyzing the linkages between day-to-day practices in schools and larger domains and values that are often linked to social and political realities is central to the generation of critical theory for teaching and teacher education'.…”

Contemporary notions of childhood overweight and obesity have become increasingly influential in curriculum and pedagogy in school-based Health and Physical Education (HPE). Teachers' delivery of HPE subject matter and related school practices are likely to have a considerable impact on the attitudes and beliefs of the children they teach, particularly in the primary school. It thus becomes important to consider the ways of thinking about and doing health (discourse positions on health) that teachers bring to their teaching of HPE. This paper examines pre-service teachers' positions in relation to the health discourses to better understand what teachers, in this case beginning teachers, bring to their teaching of HPE and interactions with children in primary schools. It draws on a Foucauldian approach to discourse analysis to analyse pre-service teachers' qualitative survey and interview responses to questions about meanings of health. Three key positions emerged, signifying Agreement, Disagreement and Negotiated positions in relation to the dominant discourses of health and the body.

“…In particular, the work of David Kirk and Richard Tinning established the formally little-known Deakin University in Australia as the home of this new form of theorising in the PETE field. The key issues orienting this critical scholarship included questions about the nature of knowledge in PE, specifically the predominance of the human movement sciences; the nature and scope of HPE curricula; the power relationships that influenced our understanding about the body, and issues relating to gender identity, meritocracy, 'technocentric ideology' (BAIN, 1990), obesity (KIRK, 2006), ethics (SICILIA-CAMACHO; FERNÁNDEZ-BALBOA, 2009), and the privileging of certain forms of knowledge (TINNING, 2004).…”

Estudo sociocrítico e pedagogia crítica, nas últimas três décadas, são centrais na formação de professores de Educação Física. O objetivo deste artigo é providenciar um retrato da história do projeto crítico na formação de professores de Educação Física e oferecer uma análise das pedagogias críticas na sociedade ocidental contemporânea. Nesse texto, as representações de pedagogia crítica são classificadas nos focos sobre (a) reflexão crítica, (b) pedagogias do “desconforto”, (c) princípios democráticos, embora os autores reconheçam que na formação de professores tais categorias sobrepõem-se e não são independentes entre si. O artigo conclui que as relações entre professores e alunos na formação inicial em Educação Física são construídas com base na confiança, no cuidado e, secundariamente, que conexões entre professores que atuam na formação superior e a comunidade mais ampla que ensina Educação Física são importantes para providenciar as condições necessárias para as pedagogias críticas nos cursos e programas que formam professores.

Similarly, a growing body of coach scholarship draws on Foucault's earlier work on power and discourse to argue for the necessity, or importance, of problematization as a style of thought fundamental to innovative and critical coaching practice (Denison, 2007(Denison, , 2010Denison & Avner, 2011;Denison & Mills, 2014;Denison, Mills, & Konoval, 2015).…”

In this paper we draw from Foucault, particularly his writings on the technologies of self, to problematize and reimagine understandings of what it means to coach effectively and ethically. In recognising the difficulty of operationalising Foucauldian ideas, we provide a narrative-of-self to reveal how an elite tennis coach, Göran Gerdin, adopted Foucauldian ideas in a process of ethical self-creation. The narrative reveals how Göran experienced the tragedy of youth player suicide and how he critically reflected on his coaching role in relation to this tragedy. Through specifically problematizing the insidious influence of technologies of dominance on athletic subjectivity, Göran reveals how he drew from Foucault to develop alternative coach practices and a related telos. We conclude by reflecting on pragmatic issues associated with coaching with Foucault.
