Propuestas para el desarrollo de la competencia crítica en el alumnado de Educación Física
Proposals for the development of critical competence in Physical Education

The development of values and attitudes has always constituted a fundamental pillar of the Physical Education curriculum. It is currently made explicit by official curriculums that establish, as general objectives, that pupils must be able to adopt a critical attitude to treatment of the body, physical activity, and sport in a social context. The paper presents a programme carried out at a Secondary School, -illustrating a possible educational orientation- aimed at stimulating a critical sense towards manifestations that arise in sporting activities, which reflect attitudes and behaviours that occur in society: gender differences and inequalities, the exaggerated cult of the body that we find as response, often misguided, to the corporal health-aesthetics binomial, and the repeated situations of violence that take place in sporting contexts. A brief presentation is made of the activities designed and a web-based multimedia program used as educational resource.
