Abstract [en]

Purpose & question

The purpose of the study is to investigate how the teachers in the subject of sports and healthlook at yoga, as well as whether yoga can be implemented in teaching within the subject ofsports and health in relation to students stress management/reduction.

• What is the view of teachers in sports and health on yoga as content in the teaching?

• How is yoga used in practice?

• Teachers in the subject of sports and health see yoga as an effective method to reducethe student's stress level?

Method

The study has a qualitative approach and data was collected using five semi-structuredinterviews with physical education teachers at three different high schools in northern Stockholm. The study used a thematic analysis to identify different themes and important aspects from the interviews and the compilation of the results. The analysis was based on fourdifferent aspects such as salutogenic and pathogenic perspectives, Bourdieus concept of habitus and Engströms logics of practice.

Results

Three out of five participants had a positive attitude towards yoga as lesson content, the othertwo participants were neutral towards it. They saw no purpose in integrating something new into the teaching and making it rigid. Yoga today is used in different ways, ranging from thepurpose of experiencing mindfulness and relaxation to focusing solely on mobility. Three out of five participants were aware of the connection that yoga can work as a method for stressreduction.

Conclusion

The study shows that yoga is a method that can be used for stress reduction among highschool students, and that the use of yoga in teaching creates a good variety of content andgoes against the normative view of sports. The implementation of yoga in teaching alsoincreases the content of inclusive teaching and reduces the performance requirement withinthe subject and reduces the stress created by performance.

Metod

Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och data samlades in med hjälp av fem semi-strukturerade intervjuer med idrottslärare på tre olika gymnasieskolor i norra Stockholm. Studien använde sig av en tematisk-analys för att identifiera olika teman och aspekter från intervjuerna och sammanställandet av resultatet. Analysen grundandes i fyra olika aspekter som salutogent- och patogent perspektiv, Bourdieus begrepp habitus samt Engströms praktiker/logiker.

Resultat

Tre av fem deltagare hade en positiv inställning gällande yoga som lektionsinnehåll, de övriga två deltagarna var neutrala mot det. De såg inget syfte att integrera något nytt i undervisningen och göra det krystat. Yoga idag används på olika sätt, antigen i syftet att uppleva mindfullness och avkoppling till att enbart fokusera på rörlighet. Tre av fem deltagare anser att yoga kan fungera som metod för stressreducering.

Slutsats

Studien visar att yoga är en metod som kan användas för stressreducering bland gymnasieelever, samt att användningen av yoga i undervisningen skapar en god variation av innehållet och går emot den normativa synen på idrott. Implementeringen av yoga i undervisningen ökar även innehållet med inkluderande undervisning och minskar prestationskravet inom ämnet och reducerar stressen skapat av prestation.
