Because we are all equal when doing sports

a qualitative inquiry on issues regarding cultural diversity in physical education

Sports is often regarded as a space where differences can be overcome, as something which can unite people. However, sports cannot only lead to identification and integration, but also to differentiation and exclusion (Elling, 2004). This can be an issue for teachers of physical education (PE), who have to deal with (culturally) diverse groups of pupils within one classroom. Teacher education often fails to equip teacher trainees with sufficient confidence in their knowledge of diversity issues (Dagkas, Benn, & Jawad, 2011). This research explores what issues students of PE teacher training and PE teachers experience regarding cultural diversity in the PE classroom, how they manage cultural diversity and what discourses their management is based on. It applies discourse analysis to analyze the interview data gathered through semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows that PE teachers and teacher trainees do not experience major issues regarding cultural diversity in the PE classroom.
