Diseño de una propuesta de gestión deportiva con enfoque pedagógico que contribuya a la práctica física de los estudiantes del Colegio San Benito Abad.

Abstract

The research study titled “Design of a Proposal for Educational Sports Management to Promote Physical Activity Among Students at San Benito Abad School” is being conducted at San Benito Abad School, a public school under the jurisdiction of the Bogotá Department of Education, located in the Tunjuelito neighborhood in southern Bogotá. It is a relatively small institution, with approximately 1,000 students from kindergarten through eleventh grade. The problem lies in physical activity within the institution; often, sports management is not addressed as a specific area, and the school does not take institutional responsibility for promoting sports, resulting in negative short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes. The Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization (2019) highlight the direct relationship between sports management and its influence on adolescents’ motivation to engage in physical activity. The purpose of this research is to develop a sports management proposal that promotes increased physical activity (sports and physical exercise), based on the following research question: How can sports management, from a pedagogical perspective, strengthen physical activity among students at San Benito Abad School in accordance with its institutional context? The research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology, and its main outcome is the creation of a sports management proposal that includes pedagogical strategies and sports management planning, based on information gathered within the institution for the purpose of improving sports management and promoting physical activity among students.
