Ballerfaring på mellomtrinnet : En kvalitativ studie om elevers erfaringer av ballspillundervisning i kroppsøving på mellomtrinnet
Abstract
The purpose of this master thesis is to map how pupils who have limited experience with ball games in their spare time,experience the teaching in physical education.This is done by first examining theory that can be used to extract experiences and insights with the students. Next, a qualitative study is carried out on how pupils with limited experience with ball games in their spare time,experience the teaching in physical education. To get knowledge of these pupils' experiences, informants from the intermediate classes were selected from two different schools. The pupils were first observed in activity in the educational context. Thereafter, interviews of the students who did not conduct organized ball game activities in their spare time was conducted. The results of the interviews show that allthe students who have limited experience with ball games in their spare time experience that ball games dominate the physical exercise teaching. However, how this dominance of ball games affects their teaching experience varies. Some of the students find that there is too much ball play in these classes. This leads to some of the students experiencing the teaching in physical education as boring. Other pupils are happy with the physical exercise teaching, and the dominance of ball games does not cause a negative experience of the teaching.For some of the students, the dominance of ball games becomes extra challenging, as they may, for example, have what they experience as “ball scare”. This leads to some students using so called hiding techniques, i.e. different techniques that hide what they feel or the challenges they experience associated with an activity. The goal is to avoid exposing themselves to situations in the teaching that threatens their self-worth.Keywords: physical education, ball games, experiences, Bourdieu, hiding technique, middle level, qualitative research
