The pedagogical intervention of physical education teachers in a multicultural context: practices, reflections and orientations

This paper considers the nature of the pedagogical intervention of PE teachers with over five years' experience in primary schools with more than 50 per cent of foreigner students. Techniques for obtaining the results were the semi-structured interview and non-participant observation, complemented with data content analysis. The results allow us to propose a set of theoretical profiles of physical education teachers with regard to cultural diversity in their classrooms based on the pedagogical intervention analyzed. Finally, we add several teaching guidelines regarding to personal, curriculum and instructional aspects to advance towards intercultural physical education.
