O processo de ensino das danças típicas de Alagoas no ambiente escolar: a visão dos professores de educação física

Abstract

The present research aims to verify if the typical dances of Alagoas are contents worked in Physical Education classes, thus taking the knowledge of these specific popular manifestations, which in turn are also part of Brazilian culture. The typical dances addressed within the school environment represent much more than a symbolic dance of cultural manifestation, the typical dances rescue the history of a particular State or country. We are well aware that these dances have different functions such as religious rituals, tributes, greetings, among others, such typical dances can provide students with not only know-how, but also knowledge about. During stage 4, after observing the approach of the dance theme during classes, it is possible to notice the lack of these typical dances from the state of Alagoas (coco de roda, pastoril, dance of São Gonçalo) before that, two notes emerged, teachers work with the content of typical traditional dances from Alagoas? And how could this content be addressed in class? The research was carried out in two schools located in a municipality in the interior of Alagoas, with three Physical Education teachers who work in elementary school as participants. The research was qualitative in nature and the open questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, which was delivered to the research subject. The teachers who answered the questionnaire tell us that they do work with the content Typical Dances of Alagoas, and that this theme is important for cultural continuation and that it is also proposed by the BNCC.
