The importance of the Physical Education (PE) teacher’s body, particularly for teaching PE, has been highlighted in literature. PE teachers are expected to be clear role models to students through their acts, behaviours and bodies. However, their strong embodied subjectivities, particularly those related to their teaching practices, may be problema...
What counts as a the preferred/culturally dominant model of health is
clearly influenced by political, social and cultural aspects, as well as by
the media. This has a direct impact on adolescents, since there is a
greater pressure to achieve the canons established as ideals. Young
people’s ideas about health are shaped by their personal circumstan...

Introduction
This study explores the intersection of physical exercise, masculinity, and aging in older men, examining how these elements shape identity and bodily experiences. Aging is often framed through deficit-based narratives that emphasize decline; however, this research seeks to reframe aging as a process of adaptation and opportunity. By i...

This article explores the intersectionalities of teaching, and the personal and professional identity of a Primary Education teacher who reflects what it meant to be a teacher during the pandemic, his experiences of teaching and learning, his relationships with the students, and his future perspectives. Using an autoethnographic approach, we draw o...
The Covid-19 pandemic has led to widespread changes in the ways teaching and learning takes place under the pandemic. This has affected more significantly pre-service teachers, as they did not have the opportunity to experience their practicum period in a ‘normal’ context. Therefore, the aims of this paper are: (1) to explore how pre-service teache...
Etnografía y autoetnografía como métodos de investigación en las Ciencias de la Actividad Física. Manual para jóvenes investigadoras e investigadores.
Background: Despite its ubiquity in education discourses, social justice is a highly contested concept that can be framed in different ways [Dowling, F., H. Fitzgerald, and A. Flintoff. 2012. Equity and Difference in Physical Education, Youth Sport and Health: A Narrative Approach. Routledge]. The ‘social’ element of social justice is always framed...

Their guardians also participated. All the students have experienced their compulsory schooling in Spain. Method...
School physical education (PE) is influenced by different discourses that play a crucial role not only in the (re)production of PE practices but also in shaping teacher subjectivities. This paper aims to explore how a PE teacher responds to, lives, and negotiates his embodied professional subjectivity over time. To achieve this, we employ an autobi...
Esta pequeña historia trata de dar voz a aquellos que normalmente no la tienen. A través de la reflexión que surge de una noche en vela, se revelan el sufrimiento, la impotencia y la desolación ante la tragedia que asola a Palestina, como asola a tantas otras partes del mundo. Las palabras des-criben el horror de vidas arrebatadas, de sueños trunca...

An online professional CoP has been subjected to analysis by following a sequential exploratory mixed-methods inductive model combining the ana...
Research has shown that Physical Education (PE) is a white, male, and able body-dominated profession, particularly in Spain. When some female pre-service PE teachers, who had a difficult relationship with their bodies and sports abilities, enrol in such a degree, some of these problematic relations come to light. Participants for this study were fo...
Physical Education (PE) teachers have previous experiences that condition their pedagogical practice. The students, far from being a "blank slate", show how their previous period of socialization, their subjectivities and identities create a particular culture of PE teaching. The objective of this study is to understand and deepen the previous idea...

There is now a wealth of research on obesity both from biomedical and socially critical perspectives. However, less research has focused on the lived experiences of young children and particularly those who are perceived as 'sedentary'. This paper critically examines the issue of obesity as related to children's experiences of physical (in)activity...
Physicality has been and still is, an important part of the embodied identity of many physical education (PE) teachers. PE teachers understanding and representation of their bodies influence both their teaching and act as role models for their students. PE is therefore an important site for exploring how ideals of the body shape both understandings...

In this chapter I present my journey as a Spanish researcher who seeks to write in an evocative, critical and committed way. In it, I explain the story of how I began to write autoethnographies and how these allowed me to delve into personal, social and professional experiences that could lead to debates about broader cultural issues. Since the sci...
Perhaps there was a time when working at the university was synonymous with motivation, freedom and enthusiasm; now, those who work there understand that stress, anxiety and self-protection are the criteria that rule. New university professors struggle to find meaning in their professional (and, by extension, personal) lives; their work requires th...

Questions
Questions (6)
University institutions create a scenario where teaching is not committed with social transformation, but mainly with an aspiration towards elitism and the students´ contentment (students understood as “clientele”); research, on its turn, no longer seeks to meet the demands of our society (Sparkes, 2013). On the contrary, it follows the priorities set by foreign multinational companies (Berbegal-Mirabent & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2015). The quality and scientific value of the work is therefore defined by those companies that then lead an “impact culture” difficult to escape from.
Hence the challenges and difficulties that the Spanish university runs into whilst meeting the dynamic and interests of the markets (Berbegal-Mirabent & Ribeiro-Soriano, 2015), especially after its adaptation to the European Higher Education Area.
So, the question could be: Quality assessment systems for university teaching staff: a tool for improving the quality of the system, or an instrument for precariousness?
What is the most important thing to teach in Physical Education classes in Primary Education, and what is the best way to teach it?
