ATTENTION AND REFLECTIVITY IN P.E. TOWARDS GENDER EQUITY AT THE TIME OF COVID-19

During the Covid-19 pandemic schools face a peculiar situation that forces the realization of a different education, a distance learning, that discriminates particularly Physical Education among other subjects. In this situation, since it is no longer possible to carry out the usual sport related content, Physical Education teachers have to face more transversal situations where good practices and a fair education towards gender can come to surface. The psychophenomenological contribution, also taking into consideration evidence appeared in literature (P. Vermersch 2019), underlines the importance of keeping up the focus of teachers towards social justice issues and specifically gender ones. From strategies of involvement of mixed classes, forced to body distance and to static postures in space, the Physical Education teacher can avoid the drift of attention to sexed bodies through reflective processes, mainly self-reported, and attention to gender relations.
