Uma proposta de ensino dos esportes de campo e taco em aulas de educação física no ensino médio: uma análise do engajamento dos alunos

Abstract

This paper examines the engagement of high school students through the teaching of field and bat sports, using a pedagogical approach based on principles of the TGfU (Teaching Games for Understanding) model, in a state school of the state network of Ceará. The qualitative research was conducted through the use of a questionnaire, focus group and observations recorded in a field diary carried out with a class of high school students from a public institution in the state of Ceará. Twenty students from the 2nd year of high school participated in the study. The collected data were transcribed, reviewed, organized and classified using the content analysis technique proposed by Laurence Bardin. The results were expressed in two categories: 1 Student Perception – Student Engagement and 2 Teacher Perception – Forms of Engagement. As a result of this educational endeavor, a learning path was designed in order to facilitate the adoption of this tool by different high school teachers. The main results indicate a significant increase in the engagement of these students during Physical Education classes. This increase in engagement was perceived by both teachers and students, as evidenced by the qualitative analysis of the data collected. It was concluded that several factors, such as teaching methodology, quality of physical spaces, students' responsibilities, use of technologies, sense of belonging, and adaptation to students' level of knowledge, influence engagement. In addition, innovative pedagogical strategies, positive social interactions, and consideration of emotional well-being are crucial to fostering a healthy and productive learning environment, offering practical guidance for meaningful engagement in the school environment.
