La vejez, el envejecimiento y las personas mayores en la formación docente en Educación Física

Abstract

The text that is presented takes part of the theoretical arguments that support the Pro-motional Research and Development Project The contents about old age in the training of teachers and graduates in Physical Education. Preliminary diagnosis in Argentina and Latin American countries. The project has been recently approved by the Secretariat of Science and Technology of the National University of La Plata and is located in the Area of Stu-dies and Research in Physical Education of the Faculty of Humanities and Education Sciences. This project is carried out by researchers Novice and wants to become a con-tribution to the academic field of the discipline. There would be a shared assumption among the actors in the field of Physical Education that this subject is an area of vacancy in training, which prevents thinking educational interventions for all ages. In this line, we aim to analyze and distinguish the contents on the vejez, aging and the elderly in the field of physical education teacher training in Argentina and Latin American countries. Different international organizations propose to modify vocational training to move towards more inclusive societies, since the lack of initial training policies to address the heterogeneity and diversity of the subjects has the consequence that the curricula of the training of educators still do not conform to the social needs.
