Ginástica para todos: questões sobre uma experiência de aprendizagem crítica

Abstract

The aim of this study was to comprehend how Gymnastics for All (GfA) have been carried out in the university context. This approach was possible throughout the view of the extenders and participants involved in the extension project of GfA, also based on the theoretical perspective of the Freiriana guidelines and FORPROEX. The results presented that the GfA projects were based on three main themes: I) individual appreciation and prior knowledge; II) democratic group issues; III) social interaction among components, which in turn, approached the main themes. We conclued that the GfA extensions enhance the participants’ active envolvement, therefore, contributing to a critical and autonomous academic formation, which recognize the collective.
