Initial training in combat activities in university training programs in physical education and health education

Abstract

knowledge of combat activities and the development of pedagogical-educational knowledge related to them are therefore limited, sometimes even non-existent. Combat activities have a high degree of complexity as well as a dangerous potential which it is important for the teacher to measure well thanks to her teaching experience, her knowledge of her school audience as well as his degree of expertise in combat activities in order to use them optimally, as has been documented for the teaching of French boxing. This explains, at least in part, the low use by physical education and health teachers of this means of action in Quebec schools.
