A importância da educação física escolar: inquietações a partir da autoetnografia performática

Abstract

This work of performative autoethnography problematizes the importance of the Physical Education (PE) discipline in Basic Education based on the narration of a teacher in training who, in her life, was a present-absent-present student in Physical Education classes at school, demonstrating complete disinterest. Relating her life with the world of dance, she reveals the proximity to moving from “Five Acts”, characterizing moments, lived and unlived experiences that led her to reach this moment: graduating from a Degree in Physical Education. Raising questions such as “how to intervene with students who self-exclude because they want to stay out of it?” and “why does this happen in the PE subject and do not in other subjects?”. The outcome includes three inquiring and, at the same time, inspiring letters to different active parts in the school context: students, teachers and management, inviting them to transformations in terms of interest in the subject of Physical Education.
