Pedagogía feminista y educación físicadiseño y análisis de la intervención Deportigualízate

Résumé

Although educational contexts have been considered as fundamental agents of transformation in favour of more democratic societies for decades, research in physical education shows that it is a space where discourses and practices continue to marginalize certain identities and bodies, (re)producing the status quo of gender. This doctoral thesis aims to design a curricular intervention under a critical feminist pedagogy frame. The intervention is called Deportigualízate and has the purpose to challenge sexism through physical-sports contexts. In addition, this thesis aims to study the impact of Deportigualízate on the participants, and analyse the transformative possibilities of the intervention. The research is framed in a feminist research paradigm, and both, the generation and analysis of data, is carried out through mixed methods. A Diagnostic Study and two case studies have been conducted. The Diagnostic Study aims to explore the gender stereotypes of physical education teachers and secondary school students, in the province of A Coruña. In the first Case Study, the intervention is enacted in a class of secondary school students in that province. The second Case Study consists in enacting the intervention with Physical Education-Sport Tertiary Education students. The findings allow us to conclude that Deportigualízate meets the proposed objectives, and that through consulting strategies it could be adapted to other contexts.
