Organização do trabalho pedagógico da disciplina Educação Física na Escola de Aplicação da UFPA-EAUFPA

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the social function of Physical Education as a process of human formation in the School of Application of UFPA - EAUFPA. In this sense, it is presented as a research problem: what social function has the Physical Education discipline been assuming in the process of human formation promoted by the School of Application of UFPA - EAUFPA? For this, this research is referred to by an approximation to the dialectical historical materialist theoretical method belonging to the Marxist tradition, because we understand that the analysis and production of knowledge is given by the dialectical interpretation of the numerous determinations that are presented to the object in the concrete reality. As methodological procedures, the official documents that guide the pedagogical practice of the Physical Education teacher in the school were analyzed. For the collection of empirical data, a questionnaire and semi-structured interview with 8 (eight) teaching staff were used, using a qualitative analysis of a critical-dialectical character. As a first result, we observed an absence in the pedagogical dialogue between curricular profile and individual work plans. Regarding the content of the questionnaires and the interviews, we can perceive rich and propositive formative experiences being developed in the pedagogical work by the teachers. However, as a collective, it was highlighted the lack of a methodological unit, unique and systematized, in the schooling process of the discipline Physical Education. It is concluded that the function of the Physical Education discipline in the School of Application is positioned in the possibility of a critical formation, thus contributing to the overcoming formation of individuals.
