Introduction

This tutorial summarizes the key points from the presentation "Enseigner l’EPS en classe de SEGPA" by Lucie Mougenot and Philippe Gagnaire at the Journée Jean Zoro 2022. It focuses on inclusive physical education (EPS) within SEGPA classes, highlighting strategies to create an engaging learning environment for all students.

Step 1: Understanding SEGPA Classes

• SEGPA (Sections d'Enseignement Général et Professionnel Adapté) classes cater to students with learning difficulties.
• The goal is to adapt educational practices to meet varied student needs, ensuring inclusivity.
• Recognize the importance of creating a supportive atmosphere that encourages participation and enjoyment in physical activities.

Step 2: Employing Inclusive Teaching Strategies

• Adapt Activities: Modify traditional physical education activities to suit the abilities of all students.

  • Use smaller groups for team sports to foster teamwork and cooperation.
  • Offer individual or alternative activities for students who may struggle with group dynamics.

• Encourage Participation: Create an environment where every student feels valued and motivated to participate.

  • Use positive reinforcement to build confidence.
  • Allow students to choose activities they enjoy, increasing their engagement.

Step 3: Setting Clear Objectives

• Establish clear, achievable objectives for each lesson, tailored to the capabilities of SEGPA students.
• Use SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to define goals.
• Example objectives:
  • Improve basic movement skills (running, jumping, throwing).
  • Foster social skills through team-based activities.

Step 4: Utilizing Collaborative Learning

• Promote teamwork and collaboration among students to enhance social interactions.
• Implement group challenges where students can work together to achieve a common goal.
• Use peer mentoring to allow stronger students to support their classmates, further reinforcing team spirit.

Step 5: Continuous Assessment and Feedback

• Regularly assess students’ progress and provide constructive feedback.
• Use varied assessment methods, such as observations, self-assessments, and peer evaluations.
• Encourage students to reflect on their performance and set personal goals for improvement.

Conclusion

Incorporating inclusive practices in EPS for SEGPA classes is vital for fostering a positive and engaging learning environment. Key strategies include adapting activities, encouraging participation, and setting clear objectives.
