Didactic analysis of a basketball lesson in a sports club. A look at the content and the teaching devices

Abstract

This research attempts to understand the didactic relationship built up between – and linking – a sports teacher and his students. The source documents for this research are papers on the didactic nature of physical education, supplemented by concepts borrowed from the field of the theory of situations and comparative didactics.
The context of our study is the sports club and centres on an ordinary basketball session for 7-10 year old children. By concentrating on the didactic element/aspect of the exchanges/transactions, we aim to describe and understand working contents and frameworks, didactic interaction and the importance of the sports teacher’s concepts/ideas in this process.
