O currículo da educação física escolar para além do esporte: sistematizações de uma pesquisa-ação

Abstract

This research aims to problematize the body movement culture (CCM) as a central element of Physical Education (PE) in schools, beyond sports. Its objective is to analyze the action research process to develop a Physical Education (PE) curriculum proposal for the 5th grade of elementary school, encompassing the various contents of the Body Movement Culture. The methodology used was action research, with the use of a field diary, the application of a questionnaire, and the development of scheduled meetings with seven PE teachers. Data analysis was performed through content analysis. The results indicated that in the context studied, teachers follow a technical and sports-oriented work bias, largely due to their initial training having been developed in this direction; there is a lack of study/continued training moments that problematize school PE and that address legal documents (BNCC, DRC/MT, municipal teaching material) and literature in the area with a critical bias; External influences on the school and school PE determine what happens and what does not happen in teachers' pedagogical practice (School Games, Municipal Championships); and that collective planning that meets teachers' needs, including CCM, is not carried out. The study concluded that PE classes aim at practice for practice's sake, suffering external influences on the progress of courses without contextualizing CCM as a point of pedagogical tension, and in this sense, PE teachers need ongoing training with a specific focus on legal frameworks and literature in the area so that they can improve the classes taught. From this, CCM can be present in school planning, as well as in students' daily lives, being a protagonist in promoting quality school PE with a focus on learning and the search for knowledge that can broaden teachers' vision. Finally, the research presents a final product, which consists of a curricular systematization/curricular project for the 5th year of Elementary School, centered on CCM, considering the characteristics of the educational context in which the research was developed.
