Representación de la maestra de educación física en los manuales escolares

What is it about?

The objective of the present study is to analyse how the physical education teacher is represented in the textbooks of this area, in the Primary Education stage. A quantitative study is carried out showing a high number of teachers with respect to the physical education teacher, mainly in the first cycle of Primary Education and a qualitative one, through content analysis, identifying a stereotyped treatment of the physical characteristics of the teacher, by representing a teacher eminently young, white, thin, wearing sports clothes and without disabilities. But at the same time, a more open and participative treatment appears in relation to the role represented, since the physical education teacher appears in the peripheral area of the image, with an active attitude, in a space not necessarily sports, without teaching complements, that Imparts content related to group-class management and games
