The purpose of our study is to investigate the way educational practitioners perceive critical issues and barriers related to the teaching of physical and sports education in primary and secondary school. To carry out this study, we have used a qualitative research methodology based on the content analysis of documents obtained from a focus group conducted with educational practitioners, people, and institutions dealing with primary and secondary education. In particular, the practitioners and representatives were teachers, principals, volunteers from sports associations, municipal government and from the Territorial School Office of the City of Cremona, Italy, who have been involved in the project “Mi gioco la possibilità - ExSportAbile - Lo sport inclusivo a Cremona”. The results from the study show that there exist critical issues relating to the perception of physical activity and sports education by the participants in the focus group. Moreover, at the same time, the results highlight the possibility of using new means and strategies for the enhancement of educational potentials of physical and sport education in school.
Il presente studio ha la finalità di indagare la percezione di coloro che operano nell’ambito dello sport scolastico rispetto all’insegnamento dell’educazione fisica, motoria e sportiva nella scuola primaria e secondaria. Per tale indagine è stata impiegata una metodologia qualitativa, basata sull’analisi del contenuto di un focus group realizzato con insegnanti, dirigenti scolastici, operatori di associazioni e società sportive, rappresentanti dell’amministrazione comunale e dell’Ufficio Scolastico Territoriale di Cremona, nell’ambito del progetto “Mi gioco la possibilità - ExSportAbile - Lo sport inclusivo a Cremona”. I risultati rilevano, nella percezione dei partecipanti, elementi di criticità ed evidenziano, al contempo, possibili strumenti e prospettive per la valorizzazione delle potenzialità educative dell’educazione fisica, motoria e sportiva in ambito scolastico

In particular, the practitioners and representatives were teachers, principals, volunteers from sports associations, municipal government and from the Territorial School Office of the City of Cremona, Italy, who have been involved in the project “Mi gioco la possibilità - ExSportAbile - Lo sport inclusivo a Cremona”. The results from the study show that there exist critical issues relating to the perception of physical activity and sports education by the participants in the focus group. Moreover, at the same time, the results highlight the possibility of using new means and strategies for the enhancement of educational potentials of physical and sport education in school.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
