O ensino do esporte por meio da metodologia Sport Education em uma escola de tempo integral em Alagoas

Abstract

This study aimed to study, analyze, and reflect on the teaching of sports in physical education classes using the "sports education" methodology. The general objective was to: Identify the meanings presented by students regarding a proposed pedagogical intervention using the "sports education" methodology. The specific objectives were selected as follows: Analyze, identify, and interpret the meanings presented regarding a proposed pedagogical intervention focusing on sports, using the sports education methodology, for students in the final years of elementary school; evaluate the contribution of the sports education methodology to the teaching of sports in schools; and describe a proposal for anelective physical education program focused on team sports in a full-time school. The qualitative research used participatory action research methodology. The research instruments used were observation, through diaries and records (photos and videos), and focus groups. The study participants were students enrolled in the ninth grade zero-two class at the Aurino Maciel State School in 2024. The research results showed that the methodology was important for developing enthusiasm and literacy, guiding principles of sports education. However, competence, a principle linked to the acquisition of sports skills and techniques, was poorly developed, mainly due to the number of interventions performed in the study and the limited participation during practical classes. The didactic change of feredby the methodology was not sufficient to resolve long standing problems in Physical Education classes, such as girls' participation. Therefore, it is necessary to reconsider the possible adaptation of the American methodology to the context of Brazilian schools. The study's unique feature is its implementation in a full-time public school in Alagoas.
