Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the body representations Alumni Education for Youth and Adults (AYE) from a school of public municipal Maceió. The specific objective was to present a proposal for intervention for physical education classes from the representations given by the student‟s body. The study was qualitative in nature, with an emphasis on action research defined by Gil (2007). The starting questions were:- what body representations of the students of AYE? And what they would do in PE lessons, question the basis for the organization of interventions. The subjects were nine students in the first segment of the fundamental teaching of Adult Education. The instrument used for data collection was a semi-structured interview, pre-recorded and then transcribed. For data analysis we chose the content analysis from the perspective of Guerra (2006). Data interpretation was done by categories, which in the context of body representations were: dissatisfaction, acceptance and aging. As for what to do in lessons were well organized: stretching, movement and stillness. Interventions in the contents that were being developed by the teacher and the stretches were appointed by them worked. As a result, it was noticed that the body representations were submitted directly related to what students like to do in PE lessons. Therefore, it was noted the need to think classes with students and not just for them, without disregarding the guidelines of teaching. Considering that yearned to know the possibilities of learning was theoretical or practical, that discipline could offer. Ultimately it was felt that the teaching practice experience is the factor that limits the practical experience and guides teachers in their work. Physical Education, in turn, is important in Youth and Adult Education for enabling the knowledge of the contents of the physical culture movement in theoretical and practical context. And from their experience motion experiments, are through games, jokes, dance, among others. As well as caring for one's body and the knowledge of themes that are portrayed on television and in other cultures.
