O atletismo nas aulas de educação física escolar

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the school reality of the teaching practice of athletics in municipal schools in the State of Alagoas, the question addressed was: What is the importance given to athletics as the content of teaching in Physical Education at school? The teaching method used in recent years contributes to the withdrawal of students in practical classes of Physical Education, especially the Athletics modality, which is mostly forgotten by teachers, who justify not teaching this modality for not having adequate material, nor appropriate space for practice in the school environment or even because they think students did not like to learn other content. The study was qualitative, descriptive. Twenty two (22) Physical Education teachers, who work in elementary school, participated in the research. The instrument used was the questionnaire in the form of open questions, carried out through Google Forms. It was concluded that a greater importance is given to athletics in physical education classes, despite all the difficulties, the sport is performed mostly, with its due adaptations.
