“…La investigación sobre la eficacia del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en educación física, sigue siendo un tópico de interés en las revistas especializadas desde Locke (1977). Los trabajos de Ennis (2014), Lindsay (2014), Metzler (2014), Roberts (2014), Solmon y Garn (2014), son un claro ejemplo de ello.…”

Resumen: Las aplicaciones prácticas del modelo de Educación Deportiva son del todo conocidas en el contexto escolar y están presentes en numerosas investigaciones. Sin embargo, no se ha reportado información sobre su efecto en el contexto extraescolar o deportivo, ni en deportes con predominio técnico como es la natación. Por ello, se realizó un estudio piloto con diseño cuasi-experimental en nadadores federados (n=24) de diferentes categorías (benjamín, alevín e infantil). El programa de intervención, basado en la Educación Deportiva, se compuso de 16 sesiones de entrenamiento. Al analizar pre y post las variables objeto de estudio (Percepción de soporte de autonomía; Grado de disfrute y competencia percibida; y Grado de compromiso deportivo) se observaron mejoras estadísticamente significativas. Tal comportamiento fue posteriormente reforzado al diseñar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el que se hipotetizó que la percepción de soporte de autonomía predice positivamente el grado de disfrute y competencia percibida, y con ello, el grado de compromiso deportivo de los jóvenes nadadores. Además, se analizaron las entrevistas realizadas a los nadadores y el diario del entrenador mediante el software NVivo10, para conocer los principales indicadores sobre la percepción de los nadadores (responsabilidad, aprendizaje técnico e implicación) y del entrenador (trabajo en equipo, comunicación y predisposición). Los resultados, que corroboran los reportados en el contexto escolar, mostraron un comportamiento favorable de las variables psicológicas objeto de estudio tras la intervención basada en la Educación Deportiva con nadadores, lo que da indicios sobre su idoneidad también en el contexto federativo. Palabras clave: Educación Deportiva, club deportivo, natación, variables psicológicas Abstract: The practical applications of Sport Education in the school context are fully known in the research of the last twenty years. However, it is not reported its effects on extracurricular or sporting context but also in sports with technical dominance as swimming. A pilot study with quasiexperimental design was performed in youth swimmers (n=24) of different categories (junior and youth). The intervention program based on the Sport Education, consisted of 16 training sessions. By analyzing the variables under study (Perceived Autonomy Support, Enjoyment and Perceived Competence, and Sport Commitment) statistically significant improvements were observed. Such behavior was further reinforced when designing a structural equation model in which it was hypothesized that perceived autonomy support positively predicts the enjoyment and perceived competence, and the sport commitment of the swimmers. Interviews and diary coaches' logs were analyzed by NVivo10 software to know the perception of swimmers (responsibility, technical learning and involvement) and coaches (teamwork, communication and willingness). The main results (consistent with the school context ones) showed an optimal behavior of the psychological variables of this s...

“…He suggested that the learning of teaching skills under the supervision of a coherent, coordinated teacher education program can contribute to the development of commitment. Moreover, the research on teacher socialization confirms what may be the most important lesson for teacher educators: Even though it is essential that teachers-to-be develop effective teaching skills, the real challenge for teacher educators may well be the development of commitment and the struggle for the teacher's soul (Locke, 1977).…”

In our reflection on Rink's (2013), McKenzie and Lounsbery's (2013), and Ward's (2013) characterizations of effective teaching in physical education (PE), 2 themes emerged that permeate these diverse perspectives: policy and accountability. In our commentary, we focus our initial discussion on the implications that policy and accountability have on effective teaching in PE. A thread running through this discussion is the feasibility of promoting effective teaching in the context of current policy and demands for accountability. We provide an argument that school PE is in peril and draw parallels to previous commentaries of research on teaching. We conclude with comments highlighting steps that have the potential to revitalize school PE as a core element in school curricula. We argue that if school PE is to survive, it is critical that we advocate for policies that promote and support quality daily PE. To do that, we must convince decision makers that PE makes a valuable contribution to the school curriculum using data-based evidence. We must also recruit quality students into PE teacher education programs who are dynamic leaders in schools and communities. Finally, researchers in effective teaching in PE must make meaningful contributions to the broader field and work with interdisciplinary research teams to address issues related to promoting physical activity through education.
