Diseño y valoración de una investigación evaluativa. La enseñanza por competencias en Educación Física

The aim of this paper is to present the development of an evaluative research, used to assess the implementation of competency model, and the valuation that make these process participants: a group of teachers of Physical Education of the Comunidad Autonoma de Madrid in Secondary Education. This research was developed from the methodological complementarity, qualitative and quantitative, applying various techniques and instruments in four stages: preliminary, development, continuity and valuation. Results of the meta-evaluation of participants, developed in the assessment phase, are discussed. The results show how this research method was assessed positively and led to changes in performance and training of teachers to teach competency. The presentation of this project aims to promote the applicability thereof to scan the object of study in similar contexts or exploring new research problems.

La formación inicial y permanente del profesorado de Educación Física para la aplicación del modelo competencial: un estudio cualitativo

This study seeks to understand how a group of Physical Education teachers acquired their training to teach competence, and the valuation of its modes of acquisition. The sample was constituted of six secondary school teachers, men and women, from beginners to expert, who exercised teaching in high schools in the north, south, east and center of the Community of Madrid. Techniques as semistructured interviews and focus group were triangulated. The information collected was analyzed following proper procedures inductive model of “Grounded Theory”. The results indicate that the initial training is postulated as the type of training that most favors the application of teaching competencies, especially among beginners teachers. Also, experts participants consider their initial training is an advantage to develop the model. However, participants report making few training activities on the competency model in Physical Education and not appear to be directed toward principles. These results suggest the possibility of developing the training (initial or continuing) teacher on the competency model as a means for applying a model that promotes social inclusion, employability and active citizenship of students.
