Reflections on the continuing professional development of physical education teachers in basic education.

Abstract

The reflections of physical education teachers working in basic education in the context of the New Mexican School on their continuing education are crucial for undertaking relevant, meaningful, ongoing, consistent, and effective initiatives that improve their teaching practice. Therefore, physical educators, defined as elementary school teachers specializing in physical education, must have a clear understanding of the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary to perform their duties and strengthen them in order to effectively combine both aspects and develop relevant, meaningful, and effective teaching practices with students. They must also generate adequate interaction with the teaching communities in their schools and thereby achieve teaching-learning processes that contribute to the comprehensive training of their students and the attainment of maximum learning achievement, contributing to the graduate profile characteristics in force in the 2022 Study Plan of the New Mexican School. In view of the above, an analysis is made of various documents on Mexican education legislation, institutional documents, publications, and research on the subject, to contribute to the reflection of Physical Education Teachers, in order to recognize what their Continuing Education should focus on in order to improve their professional development throughout their working lives.
