Närmiljöns betydelse och hur den kan påverkas
Ericsson, Ingegerd; Grahn, Patrik; Skärbäck, Erik Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The aim of the present article is to describe how the local environment affects people and how people can have an impact on their local environment. Using the sports movement as an example, the article discusses the importance of getting citizens to participate and to play an active role in decision processes concerning physical planning for the local environment. How we design our outdoor environments largely determines how our children develop in terms of their motor coordination and self-image, and thereby also their mental status, concentration ability, and academic aptitude as well as our children’s resources for engaging in one or several athletic activities that promote life-long amusement, good health and well-being. For young people, the opportunity to spontaneously use their local environment is a basic need, one that has received too little attention in city planning, e.g. fill in projects. Politicians are sensitive to public expressions of opinion. If it unites its power, the sport clubs and sport federations should be able to ensure high quality play environments for children and spaces for spontaneous sports activities for youth. The new trend towards private-public-partnership means a great deal of negotiations between the developer and the city leadership in which citizens have no access. It takes place behind closed doors and the child perspective is often forgotten. The sport clubs and sport federations have a chance to take the initiative here by formulating goals for children’s and young people’s motor, social and cognitive development and by pushing its own proposals for developing the local community.

Till vad fostrar ridsporten? En studie av ridsportens utbildningar me...
Hedenborg, Susanna Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The purpose of this article is to analyze the importance and meaning of education within one of the Swedish horse riding organizations – Ridfrämjandet. The organization was formed in 1948, and shortly after its establishment it is clear that it attracted especially young people and children. Ridfrämjandet, as many other sports associations, achieved governmental subsidies for their youth activities and a large amount of their work was devoted to courses. The sociologist Tomas Peterson has used two concepts to characterize the educational strivings within the sports associations: education for competition and education for citizenship. Furthermore he has demonstrated that the courses arranged by the Swedish Football Association soon after their introduction developed competitive characteristics. By contrast, the courses arranged by Ridfrämjandet focused on citizenship education. In order to characterize the educational strivings in Ridfrämjandet, another concept has to be used as well – education for caretaking. It is possible that the caretaking characteristics in the equestrian organization can be connected to the process of feminization.

Integration i förening – kritiska reflektioner kring ett projekt
Lagergren, Lars; Fundberg, Jesper Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö Högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This article discusses integration as a process rather than as a result or as a system of distribution, and takes its cue from Lave & Wenger’s concepts of “situated learning” and “legitimate peripheral participation”. By using integration as a process related concept the article analyzes both the intentions of an integration project as well as its consequences. The intention of the project was to simplify the integration of new members of the Swedish society by funnelling them into existing associations and clubs of their own choice in order to open up the considerable amount of social net works connections to these associations and clubs through their members. By becoming members of Swedish associations and clubs newcomers would also become aware of the importance of representation in Swedish society. The authors too see this result as an important step in the process of integration from a legitimate peripheral position towards the ever changing centre, e.g. integration as a result of various situated learning.

Betydelsen av praktisk personlig färdighet i idrottslärarutbildningen
Fabri, Anna; Mattsson, Torun Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The article discusses the importance of personal sporting skills in PE Teacher Education. The article is based on interviews with a group of teachers in PE Education. They were interviewed about how they perceive the needs of skills in PE Students. The article also discusses the diminished importance in PE Education of the need of physical literacy. A particular focus is on the discussion of personal skills in dancing and in ball games. The results show that there is a difference between how the PE educators talk about personal skills in dance and in ball games. There is consensus concerning the importance of the need for good personal ability in dancing, which also permeates the exams that the students are doing. In ball games, on the other hand, the discussion underlines the importance of general skills in coaching and leadership rather than personal skills in various ball games, in order to create good learning situations for different groups of pupils.

Fysisk fostran och föraktet för svaghet: En kritisk analys av hälsodi...
Jönsson, Kutte Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö Högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Health and public health issues have always been of official concern. Usually, these issues are described as rather morally uncontroversial. The reason for that is simple. It is better for all – individuals as well as society as a whole – if the public are in “good shape”. Often, this is also the main reason behind suggestions regarding physical education in schools. Hardly anyone seems to think that this is a major problem, certainly not from a moral point of view. If something is wrong, it is never described as a problem regarding physical education as such. In my article, I suggest another view on this. I claim that there are internal problems with modern health ideology. I argue that the ideology focus on normalization rather than health, is something that lies within the liberal-conservative and paternalistic health discourse. Moreover, the health ideology (as we know it) and the health discourse imply values that can be described as fascist. By this I mean that the moral imperative in the health ideology express contempt of weakness, especially when it comes to issues such as so called obesity.
