The Effect of Teacher’s Proxemic Aspects on Didactic Relationship in Swimming

This article is interesting in didactic distances (Forest, 2001) of twoPhysical Education (PE) teachers of Swimming in Tunisia. Its objective is todetermine the different proxemic distances (Hall, 1966) of teachers at thetime of didactic regulation. We postulate that proxemic distances represent arevealing of didactic relationship. The methodology of this research isqualitative and clinic. It could be registered within the frame of clinicdidactic interactions of PE and on the clinic analysis of experimented andnovice teacher’s practice glimpsing “case by case” and to apprehend thesingular subject in didactics (Terrisse, 1999). Data collection and analysis areorganized according to the clinic didactic methodology. This temporalmethodology differs by three different times and crusaders. Frommethodological point of view, this study limits itself to the second timeanalysis, that of the test (Terrisse, 2000). We make the choice to focus on thequalitative study of proxemic distances scale (Hall, 1966) . R esults put inevidence that the practice of different proxemic modes by teachers haveeffect on the didactic relationship.
