IN SCHOOL, WITH SCHOOL WITHIN: EXPLORING THE PROCESS OF PERSONAL SOCIALIZATION UNDER THE BODY IN RECESS AND IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES THROUGH A TRIO-ETHNOGRAPHY EXERCISET

Through a "trio-ethnography" exercise, three teachers compared their childhood schools with their ideal schools. Based on two situations from a school day (recess and PE class), they identified distinct bodily presences at school. Such triple contrast among memory, present and ideal allows them to reflect on bodies' schooling within a changing system that the authors attempt to overcome. Throughout interpretative ethnographic narration, the text presents new personal accounts on issues such as recess as a coercion and compensation system, with codes different from teachers' and influenced by extracurricular social practices, and opportunities for integrating people globally in PE classes, we all as promoting each student's motor potential and the acceptance of his or her as well as others' physical reality.
