Educação física escolar e educação intercultural: possibilidades pedagógicas para o ensino médio

Abstract

The complexity of the relations and the cultural diversity configure a current situation that, in the globalization process, establishes a conflict between different cultures, which arises in all the social scenarios. Therefore, this article appropriates the relation between Physical Education and intercultural education as a way full of possibilities for school practice. It presents as its main goal to analyze the interfaces between school Physical Education and intercultural education, identifying pedagogical possibilities for High School. This study has as its theoretical frame authors like: Candau (2002, 2011, 2014); Fleuri (2003, 2005); Bauman (2012); Geertz (2014); Forquin (1993); Moreira e Candau (2007); Freire (1992); Santos (2009); Daolio (2004, 2011); among others. This way, trying to reach the best definition of the methodological option for this study, the focus adopted was qualitative. The characteristic of the research is descriptive. The scenario of the study was the state education network of Fortaleza. The contributors for this research were 06 Physical Education teachers from the schools which participated in the study. These teachers composed a focus group (FG) as an instrument for collecting information about the meaning of specific and directive questions determined by the researcher for linking databases, these ones built, also, from the theoretical basis and from a bibliographical data survey in order to get illumination from the theorists consulted for this study. The results demonstrated that the connection between the inferred fields in theoretical terms showed very discreet, configuring a low privileged theme in the scientific area. Principles and pedagogical assumptions of alterity, dialog, inclusion and citizenship, that support Physical Education in an intercultural perspective, were characterized. We could also identify common challenges to work with an intercultural practice in Physical Education classes as well as a superficial relation with Physical Education in an intercultural perspective and even with others perspectives closer to Physical Education in an intercultural proportion.
