- ‘Characteristics and consequences of different body ideals’ are a mandatory curriculum content in Swedish physical education (PE). Didactic strategies for teaching on body ideals are, however, scarce. In this paper, we introduce a classroom-based teaching unit on body ideals and present didactic possibilities and challenges of the unit. We used a lesson study approach, drawing on Nutbeam’s concept of health literacy. Our methodology involved focus group interviews with students and teachers, lesson observations and minutes of meetings which we analysed thematically. We found teaching on body ideals to be highly meaningful to students but their engagement differed based on personal backgrounds, school context and didactic design. The gendered nature of body ideals and a lack of embodied didactics constituted challenges, while the use of storied cases emerged as a potent didactic strategy. We conclude with practical recommendations for teaching on body ideals in PE.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Physical education (PE) has significant potential to shape how young people experience their own and others’ bodies. This potential has not always been realized in positive ways and some research suggests that experiences in PE have contributed to young people’s dissatisfaction with their appearances. The broad aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of body image as a pedagogical issue within PE. A narrative approach to the review is adopted that enables us to summarize, compare, explain and interpret various types of research relevant to our aim. From the databases ERIC, SCOPUS and PsycInfo, 25 articles were identified that deal with either body image in typical PE lessons or researcher-led attempts to influence students’ body image (what we have termed ‘pedagogic interventions’). Main findings are that: (1) PE has been presented as both part of the cause and a potential site of intervention to the problem of negative body image; (2) Researchers have based pedagogic interventions on four types of guiding principles; and (3) Researchers have made an array of recommendations for practitioners relating to gender, time, professional development and the characteristics of the pedagogical interventions. Findings are discussed in relation to broader research on body image in society and in PE with a focus on how the findings might inform further scientific practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This review paper identifies the conceptual underpinnings of current movement research in Physical Education. Using a hermeneutic approach, four analogies for movement education are identified: the motor program analogy, the neurobiological systems analogy, the instinctive movement analogy, and the embodied exploration analogy. Three issues related to logical consistency and its relevance for movement education are raised. The first relates to tensions between the analogies and educational policy. The second concerns differences among the four analogies. The third issue relates to the appropriateness of specific analogies for dealing with certain movement contexts. In each case, strategies for improvement are considered. The paper is concluded with a brief summary along with reflections on issues that require further attention.

Lärande av rörelseförmåga i idrott och hälsa ur ett praktikutvecklande perspektiv : Movement capability. Development of teaching practice in physical education and health
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this investigation was to explore how the connections between teaching and learning about movement capability in the school subject physical education and health can be developed and transferred through research in practice development. Three research questions guided the investigation (1) What areas regarding teaching of movement capability in the school subject physical education and health have been studied in relation to teachers’ teaching assignment? (2) What necessary prerequisites are required to systematize and transfer research in practice development on movement capability between educational contexts? (3) What linkages are made visible between the treatment of learning content, the teaching design and students’ learning through variation in lesson design? Cultural-historical perspective and variation theory were used as frameworks and the methodology, mixed method research. The empirical data consists of published articles, video-observed lessons, recorded meetings with teachers and students, pre- and post-tests. The findings position the thesis in a guided teaching perspective. Moreover, findings show how the connection between teaching and learning about movement capability systematically can be developed and transferred between teaching contexts through iterative processes with revised lessons based on students’ knowledge. By the use of variation theory, understanding of the meaning of movement capability became more nuanced and itemized. The results also illustrate how the collaboration between teachers and researchers generated development of science-based teaching of movement capability.

Lärande i rörelse. Utveckling av kroppslig förmåga ur ett icke-dualistiskt perspektiv
- 2014
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Uppsatsens ambition är att genom en learning study av undervisningsmomentet kroppshållning vid löpning påvisa hur ett innehåll i skolämnet idrott och hälsa kan behandlas på ett icke dualistiskt sätt. Syftet är därmed att studera hur ett specifikt innehåll gestaltas och konstitueras i undervisningspraktiken i idrott och hälsa. Totalt deltog 95 gymnasieelever från två olika gymnasieskolor. Vidare deltog sju lärare uppdelade i vardera en studie. Variationsteorin utgjorde teoretiskt ramverk för lektionsdesignen och dess antaganden testades genom den iterativa forskningsmodellen, learning study. Studien bestod av två olika interventionsstudier som genomfördes hösten 2012 respektive hösten 2013. Resultaten från den första studien beaktades av lärarna i den andra studien, då resultaten användes i den nya gruppen av lärare och elever för att i den andra studien ytterligare utveckla antaganden från den första. Lärarnas kunskap om vad som krävs för att lära sig det avsedda innehållet och elevernas förståelse av innehållet, visade sig både genom utformning av mer kraftfull lektionsdesign och ökat lärande hos eleverna. Resultatet visar även att elevernas lärande i den andra studien utvecklades på ett mer kvalitativt sätt än i den första. Förmågan till kroppshållning utifrån ett mer optimalt sätt, vid löpning, ökade i alla fem klasserna. Lektion B:1 visar på högst ökning med +2,1 av medelvärdet, denna grupp visar en optimal placering av kroppsdelar motsvarande 4,6 av 5 möjliga. Resultaten indikerar att lektionsdesign som konstruerats av en lärargrupp kan användas av en ny grupp lärare i en kumulativ process, skapar möjligheter för eleverna att öka personligt meningsskapande som har en positiv inverkan på lärandet. Variation av lärandeobjektets aspekter skapar en process där elevens agerande och tänkande interagerar med varandra och användandet av kontraster visar sig vara ett kraftfullt sätt att skapa kropps-medvetenhet. Designen av denna variation är signifikant. Synkron simultanitet förefaller oftare ge alla elever ett helhetsperspektiv på innehållet, som i sin tur ger en mer differentierad och djupare kroppsmedvetenhet och möjlighet att alternera mellan lärandeobjektets innebörd och struktur.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research suggests that young people’s understanding of how their bodies move in space and time is deteriorating. The aim of this study was to examine how students learn to analyse sensations and feelings while running. In total, 94 students aged 16–19 years and seven physical education (PE) teachers from two different secondary schools participated in the study. Five different PE lessons were designed, conducted and analysed based on the tenets of variation theory. Two questions guided the investigation: (a) What aspects of the running movement do students discern as critical for increased awareness of body posture in running? (b) In what way do lesson designs and teaching techniques affect students’ identification of critical aspects of body posture in running? The paper provides examples of how embodied exploration of body awareness can be used as an educational means to enhance movement capabilities. Two themes are identified and described: tentative critical aspects of body posture for running, and differences in students’ ways of developing movement capability. The paper concludes with a summary of the main results along with reflections on issues that require further attention.
