Physical education, the curriculum and motor expressions

Abstract

This article presents a research focused on teachers' perception of the thematic axes and practices in the motor expressions courses of the degree program in physical education and sports at the University of Los Llanos. The main objective is to understand how teachers integrate physical education knowledge with theories of motor expressions. The method used is qualitative, specifically an intrinsic case study. To collect information, techniques such as documentary review, focus groups and semi-structured interviews were used. These techniques allowed a detailed exploration of the program, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. The population studied consisted of teachers from the aforementioned program. The results of the research revealed a general x-ray of the program, highlighting both its strengths and areas for improvement. It was identified that weaknesses could be converted into opportunities for improvement, especially by effectively applying the theory of motor expressions, which focuses on intentionality, purposefulness and motivation. The conclusions highlight how the teachers of the program perceive and articulate the knowledge of physical education with the theories of motor expressions. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the integration of theories and practices in the training of future physical education and sports professionals.
