In this paper, we present the findings from our critical analysis of the health discourses evident with physical education (PE) curricula in each UK home nation—England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We carried out a critical discourse analysis of those curriculum documents that talk directly to PE teachers about how to organise, enact and assess PE curricula in schools. The results from our analysis uncovered that, with the exception of the curriculum in England, all PE curricula conceptualise health and wellbeing holistically. However, our analysis also uncovered complex health landscapes within curricula, where discourses move from notions of supporting and enabling pupil health and wellbeing towards a more concrete (and measurable) concept of health-related learning, often associated with public health goals of promoting physical activity. Furthermore, although the public health discourses are presented in a way that suggests that young people will develop knowledge and skills to support their health, closer scrutiny reveals that they may be more associated with discourses of risk, promoting ‘healthy’ behaviours to avoid ‘ill health’. We conclude by suggesting that PE teachers need to develop a critical understanding of the health discourses within their PE curriculum. This will help them to navigate, interpret and enact curricula in an informed way, enabling them to challenge discourses that are deficit in nature, where pupils are taught how to be healthy, rather than having the freedom to learn about themselves and their health.

健康(y)主题?检查英国体育课程中的健康话语

在本文中,我们展示了我们对每个英国本土国家(英格兰、北爱尔兰、苏格兰和威尔士)的体育 (PE) 课程中明显的健康话语进行批判性分析的结果。我们对那些直接与体育教师讨论如何组织、制定和评估学校体育课程的课程文件进行了批判性话语分析。我们的分析结果表明,除了英格兰的课程外,所有体育课程都从整体上将健康和福祉概念化。然而,我们的分析也揭示了课程中复杂的健康状况,其中的讨论从支持和促进学生健康和福祉的概念转向更具体(和可衡量)的健康相关学习概念,通常与促进身体活动的公共卫生目标相关联。此外,尽管公共卫生话语的呈现方式暗示年轻人将发展知识和技能来支持他们的健康,但更仔细的审查表明,他们可能更多地与风险话语相关联,提倡“健康”行为以避免“生病”健康'。我们最后建议体育教师需要在他们的体育课程中培养对健康话语的批判性理解。这将帮助他们以知情的方式导航、解释和制定课程,使他们能够挑战本质上有缺陷的话语,在这些话语中,学生被教导如何保持健康,而不是自由地了解自己和他们的健康。尽管公共卫生话语的呈现方式暗示年轻人将发展知识和技能来支持他们的健康,但更仔细的审查表明,他们可能更多地与风险话语联系在一起,促进“健康”行为以避免“不健康” . 我们最后建议体育教师需要在他们的体育课程中培养对健康话语的批判性理解。这将帮助他们以知情的方式导航、解释和制定课程,使他们能够挑战本质上有缺陷的话语,在这些话语中,学生被教导如何保持健康,而不是自由地了解自己和他们的健康。尽管公共卫生话语的呈现方式暗示年轻人将发展知识和技能来支持他们的健康,但更仔细的审查表明,他们可能更多地与风险话语相关联,促进“健康”行为以避免“不健康” . 我们最后建议体育教师需要在他们的体育课程中培养对健康话语的批判性理解。这将帮助他们以知情的方式导航、解释和制定课程,使他们能够挑战本质上有缺陷的话语,在这些话语中,学生被教导如何保持健康,而不是自由地了解自己和他们的健康。更仔细的审查表明,它们可能与风险话语更相关,促进“健康”行为以避免“不健康”。我们最后建议体育教师需要在他们的体育课程中培养对健康话语的批判性理解。这将帮助他们以知情的方式导航、解释和制定课程,使他们能够挑战本质上有缺陷的话语,在这些话语中,学生被教导如何保持健康,而不是自由地了解自己和他们的健康。更仔细的审查表明,它们可能与风险话语更相关,促进“健康”行为以避免“不健康”。我们最后建议体育教师需要在他们的体育课程中培养对健康话语的批判性理解。这将帮助他们以知情的方式导航、解释和制定课程,使他们能够挑战本质上有缺陷的话语,在这些话语中,学生被教导如何保持健康,而不是自由地了解自己和他们的健康。
