Methodological strategy to improve the quality of the Physical Education class

Abstract

Physical education class is a pedagogical process that is developed to contribute to the integral formation of children, adolescents and youngsters through the use of physical sports activities. However, at times, it has become a place where the teacher assigns the exercises, corrects mistakes and grades students according to methodologies. This way of proceeding prevents the student from feeling motivated by the class and from seeing it as an experience where new ways of thinking, feeling and acting, useful for growth and development, are taught. Therefore, the objective of this research is aimed at designing a methodological strategy that contributes to the improvement of the quality of the Physical Education class for first-year high school students at the Educational Unit Sagrados Corazones de Guayaquil. Methods of a theoretical, empirical, mathematical, statistical and technical nature were used in each one of the phases of this research for the collection and processing of information. The results obtained are based on the diagnosis of the variable and the theoretical systematization, and were used to identify the necessary theories for the design of the methodological strategy in order to divide it into stages and actions based on concepts and characteristics. The proposal was submitted to the opinion of experts who agreed it has theoretical-methodological coherence, usefulness, importance, and relevance.
