| Περιγραφή: | Physical activity among children has been a topical subject in social debate in recent years. The Swedishschool-system is governed by policy, shaped by negotiations between different actors as politicians, publicauthorities, researchers and persons active in education. These actors are most probably influenced bydifferent social forces that in turn convey varying knowledge, norms and values. This paper focuses oninternational actors who seek to influence the content of education policy. The aim is to investigate howchildren and their physical activity are constructed in official documents produced by WHO and OECD.Two documents were analyzed with inspiration from critical discourse analysis. The result shows thatchildren are constructed as sedentary, overweight and costly, and that the problem should be solved withineducation by regulated physical activity. The analysis highlights a public health discourse and a neoliberalmarket discourse. Within these discourses, natural scientific and sporting knowledge, norms and values arerecontextualized, mostly for economic gain. This might lead to a rather instrumental view on children anda reorganization of education. In the discussion it is argued for a possible discourse of democracy and thatconcepts such as influence and participation are given a prominent position in educational policy. |
