Vers un curriculum « réel », ou comment se rendre intelligible l’activité de l’élève ?

Abstract

The study is interested in the pupils’ activity in physical education so as to carry out a functional analysis of their motor organization to make it understandable. It meets the need for the teacher to be able to guide pupils in situation to learn. The theoretical framework consists of regarding pupils’ motor organization as a gestalt : inseparably form of body and body movements, and immanent meanings inherent in this form. Obtained starting from case studies in teaching of swimming in class of 6th of college, results highlight a behavioural organization of the pupil made understandable by the interpretation of the forms in reference to functional analysis categories of the activity.
