A formação continuada de professores de educação física na rede municipal de Ananindeua/PA: contradições e perspectivas nos caminhos para emancipação

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the limits and possibilities of advancement of the Ananindeua municipal network for teachers of Physical Education in the perspective of education as a means of emancipation. The research is justified by the need to investigate such a program, offered as a policy, because in the context in which it is being carried out, it is one of the few available means (of a public nature) for teachers to access continuing education. The reference framework used is focused on the critical perspective, especially in: Adorno, Horkheimer and Freire. The legislations of the municipalities are united to the reference regarding the formation of teachers, documents of orientation for the accomplishment of formative actions and documents fruits of the planning of the same ones. The methodology of the research is characterized by the critical-dialectic approach, mixed approach and exploratory character. It was performed through a bibliographical survey, field research (through the application of questionnaires and interviews in the focal group method) and documentary research. It has as subjects the Physical Education teachers who work in the schools and those who organize the formative actions directed to the area, in that municipality. Data analysis and statistical analysis were used as data interpretation technique. As a result of the incursions, we could infer that the formations organized by the network are guided by the planning done by the responsible team, which is guided by the parameters set by the education department, which is guided by the Municipal Education Plan. This network of relationships interferes in the way the actions are planned in two ways, at least: in the operational question, because the team responsible for the organization does not have the resources and infrastructure for the development of the actions; in the pedagogical question, since the theories and conceptions that underlie the projects need to be aligned with the ideas put forward by the higher instances. This relationship reverberates in the way the teachers who attend the actions perceive them, sometimes comprehensively, sometimes more critically, because they feel that they do not contribute in all aspects of their formation. From the analysis on the results, we consider that the formation for the human emancipation will be feasible from the moment in: there are conditions for the team responsible for the formations to develop their work better; there is the possibility of planning actions integrating the needs of teachers in their multiple dimensions; the construction of a permanent policy of continuous training in the network.
