Meaning of experiences around professional Physical Education practices during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The objective of the research is to understand the meanings of the experience during the professional practices carried out by normal students of the last semesters of the Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education, during the COVID-19 pandemic of the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school cycles. A qualitative approach and the interpretive paradigm with a phenomenological-logical perspective were used to analyze the content of the interviews carried out, taking as a reference the principles of experience stated by Jorge Larrosa, understood as what happens to me. Four principles of experience were found to be most evident. Principle of exteriority, by recognizing the event in which the experience occurs. Principle of reflexivity, noticing the effects of experience. Beginning of passion and passage, when identifying the marks left by experiencing said event. Principle of singularity and plurality, given that, in the face of the same event, the meaning given has different scopes and interpretations. The principles reveal that most of the meanings are not focused on the teaching and learning processes, but rather are configured in interactions with authority figures, such as academic accompaniment, bureaucratic practices and assertive communication.
