Analysis of the Educational Reform in México, from the perspective of the physical education subject

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the New Educational Model proposed recently in Mexico from the physical education perspective, given the importance of the subject in the formative process of elementary education students. The analysis of the documentation was carried out using Gowin's V technique, which, as a strategy, allowed for a critical analysis of the new educational model. The curriculum raises the competence approach by developing the learner’s complex thinking, which is the basis for managing their knowledge. This change in the program could be a great opportunity for physical educators to change teaching styles that allow the active and reflexive participation of students. The teachers’ educational practices have a great relationship with the initial training and active updating, so it is important to attend newtraining and updating process since they are the same authorities that continuously use traditional approaches instead of currently proposed ones. The teacher is the one who organizes the learning and interacts directly with learners.
