Avaliação de uma intervenção fundamentada na promoção da saúde na educação física escolar

Abstract

The proposed health promotion aims to gather efforts to seek changes in the way man views the health-disease relationship. Its principles are listed from the Ottawa Charter (1986). The objective of this work is the evaluation of an intervention based on the promotion of health in the Physical Education school, identifying factors that contributed or not to the good development of the theme, the students' conceptions about health and to analyze the school environment as health promoter Through the students' vision. The applied methodology is qualitative, with analytical resources of educational research and action research, such as interviews, observations and records of activities and reflections. Six classes were developed, starting with the principles of health promotion, testing and measures, and healthy eating. The students also answered a questionnaire with items related to the pedagogical, structural and relational dimension correlated with health promotion. At the end of the classes, the students developed a mini-project on health promotion with proposals aimed at the school. The results of the research indicated that factors such as the use of unconventional environments for classes, images, autonomy, teacher-mediator and empowerment contributed positively to the classes. Pedagogical Project and High School and the influences of the media did not contribute positively to the classes. Thus, it is emphasized that the theme of health promotion can be worked out in Physical Education classes, since it will contribute to the strengthening of students' autonomy and sense of criticism about health and society in general.
