A educação física no ensino médio no período noturno: reflexões sobre a prática pedagógica

Abstract

The Law of Directives and Bases of Education - LDB No. 9394/96 states that the discipline of Physical Education (PE) is a compulsory curricular component in schools, but it is optional for students of the night shift, the students have their practice in some exceptional cases. The objective of this work is to check and describe how the physical education classes are being approached and applied in the night shift for high school students in the national state schools of Fortaleza-CE. We ,specifically, verified the importance and objective of PE, its approaches, contents, as difficulties and some possible solutions to minimize problems in the execution of classes, some reports in the teachers’ views, others in the students' or both. In order to evaluate the research with a qualitative descriptive approach, a questionnaire was proposed for 10 teachers and another for 210 students, in 10 state public schools. In this attempt, we used a theoretical framework to guide our analysis and discuss the results and do more about the context studied here. After an analysis of the data, the results showed that the teachers work in an unfavorable environment for an execution of the practical classes, so because classes are eminently theoretical, they are often helpless or unable to reverse the situation. One of the possible solutions to minimize some problems, is precisely a methodological and pedagogical change of teachers, to teach more subjects and define an approach with clear objectives for the students, and look for other possible solutions in the teaching of PE the school environment. As a result of this situation, students have an abstract and superficial notion of the importance and description PE classes in schools mentioned above. Although many students work, most of them do physical things and say that this discipline is important for their training, they claim that one of the great difficulties is the lack of physical structure.
