Abstract
DOGLIOTTI MORO, Paola. Homo sportivus in Physical Education Teachers' Training in Uruguay (1906-1956). Pedagogía y Saberes [online]. 2016, n.44, pp.21-34. ISSN 0121-2494.
This study inquires about the shaping of sports in Uruguay (1906-1956), especially about physical education teachers' training. The central hypothesis states that the Homo sportivus was configured following the anglo-saxon influence, through the batllista discourse about sports and the arrival of the YMCA American missionaries in the second decade of the twentieth century. By that time, there were differences and disagreements between the sport practice in educational institutions and the practice of soccer and its spreading in the Uruguayan society.
Keywords : Sport; teacher education; physical education; Uruguay.
