As barreiras pessoais enfrentadas por estudantes para prática de educação física no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation is an initiative for the improvement and appreciation of teacher education for basic education. The program grants scholarships to undergraduate students, participants in projects for initiation to teaching. Through this program it was observed that there are students of the elementary school of the public school teacher Martinz de Aguiar, of the city of Fortaleza, that do not participate in the practical classes of Physical Education. The objective of this research was to analyze the personal barriers involved in the process of non adherence to Physical Education practice in these students. The study is qualitative and cross-sectional. To identify the students who did not participate in the classes, we accompany during a bimester four classes of elementary school, from the 6th to the 9th grade. After identifying non-participants, they were invited to participate in the study, after accepting and signing a free and informed consent form, the students answered a questionnaire adapted from the literature, with closed questions related to the personal barriers to Physical Education, and the following open question: "Why do not you participate in the practical classes of Physical Education?". We verified the incidence of the following personal barriers in students to Physical Education in elementary school: injury or illness, fear or shame, laziness or fatigue, support of friends and the use of mobile phones. It is concluded with this study that the use of the cellular apparatus is one of the motivations for the students of the public school Professor Martinz de Aguiar not to participate in the classes. The influence of the use of the cellular apparatus in the involvement of the students in the practical classes of Physical Education is an issue that deserves attention in the schools nowadays.
