Abstract

This paper aims to describe and analyze the development of two physical education teacher training programs at the University of Geneva, regarding the teaching traditions that have shaped them: (a) FORENSEC (secondary education); (b) DAS MDAS (primary education). Its methodology follows the usual steps of document analysis. The analysis of these programs’ main reference documents shows that they are mainly anchored in a teaching tradition of physical education as physical culture education. This anchoring is the result of both a conscious choice of the teaching staff and structural factors that are favorable to it, or even determine it.
