La vigilance des enseignant-e-s d’éducation physique et sportive relative à l’égalité des filles et des garçons

Abstract

Researches show that physical education (PE) teachers are overwhelmingly in favor of coeducation. But they update discriminatory mechanisms suggesting that they are unaware of the inequities they cause. A study based on psychophenomenology allows to document the intrinsic logics behind discrimination: 24 explanatory interviews were carried out with PE teachers to let them describe their lived experiences in coeducational classes. Our results show that coeducation is always subjectively located: its form, chosen by the teacher, calls in return for justice decisions and for a more or less strong vigilance concerning gender equity. Two case studies illustrate the subjective factors that influence alertness toward the gender equity.
