Abstract

About 75% of Dutch PE teachers integrate ICT in their PE lessons or plan to do so in the future (Reijgersberg et al, 2014). Yet relatively little research has focused on the consequences of the use of such technologies for the perceptions on student bodies. Contextual research on PE suggests an implicit curriculum (re) produces inequalities among students through dynamics such as communication about and/or visualization of desired bodies. The purpose of this study was to explore discourses that guide teachers in their constructions of bodies they select to use in digital instruction movies, and the consequences of these selections such as the privileging and marginalizing of certain students. The results of semi-‐structured interviews with seven teachers in phase one and four focus groups (28 teachers) in phase two suggest two main themes guided their selections: degrees of ability and degrees of resilience. These themes were embedded in normalizing practices that suggested a hidden curriculum that disadvantaged and advantaged specific groups of students, and reflected an intersection of ability, gender and ethnicity.
