Healthy schools and sports training: an analysis from the educational management perspective in the municipality of Ciénaga de Oro, Córdoba, Colombia

Abstract

The research activity focused on healthy schools and sports training, in order to promote healthy school environments and foster the comprehensive well-being of students and the educational community. Its main purpose is to analyze educational management for healthy schools and sports training in the Municipality of Ciénaga de Oro, from a methodology based on the hermeneutic paradigm and the phenomenological method, from a qualitative perspective that considers the semi-structured interview as a data collection technique. The final results clearly show that educational policies continue to be the formal basis that guides institutions in the creation of healthy schools and sports training. As expressed by principals, teachers and students, these standards seem to provide clear routes to improve classroom quality and encourage active lifestyles. However, when moving from paper to practice, the same guidelines encounter obstacles such as scarcity of resources and the absence of a coherent strategic plan.
