Un cambio democrático en las aulas universitarias : una experiencia en la formación del profesorado de Educación Física

Abstract

The aim of this article is, first of all, to show the different definitions concerning the development of a democratic teaching in the classroom environment. For this reason, we put forward a series of pedagogical principles about how to reach a democratic education, from a critical perspective, at university level. Secondly, we’ll explain how a democratic teaching is being developed in universities, making explicit references to moral questions, teacher control over the students, bearing in mind the diversity, the knowledge of the teacher and the negotiation between him and his students. Finally, we will present a practical experience of a university training for physical education teachers, beginning with a democratic process based in agreements of negotiation, active methodologies from a cooperative work and the self-assessment coming from the students compromises.
