Abstract

The fundamental basis of the present study was the Theory of Social Representations revealing in the teaching-learning process its importance in dealing with common sense, thereby offering a new insight in development of new learning strategies in the teaching of Physical Education in Education for Young and Adults (EYA) in segment II. Thus, there was the following question: How to develop a pedagogical proposal for Physical Education classes at EYA modality from the representations of the students? Our overall aim was to evaluate the effects of application of a pedagogical proposal in Physical Education classes in EYA modality, promoting the appropriation of the contents and assisting in the development of teacher's work. Features of the study are contained in Qualitative method in perspective of research-action in which was applied a pedagogical proposal, aiming to intervene in the studied reality. Fourteen students attending the EYA modality (7 males and 7 females), with ages ranging between 17 and 59 years old, participated in the study. For data collection, the video-recording was used at the time of the semi-structured interviews and systematic observation of physical education classes. Data analysis was performed through the content analysis, as suggested by Bardin (2009). Analyzing the data, we found that the representations of Physical Education are anchored and compartmentalized in health promotion, however, was based from three perspectives to this feasibility. The analysis of the effects of the application of pedagogical proposal in conjunction with the physical education teacher was positively evaluated by participants, being the planning, organization and diversification in classes the primary factors for this result. Therefore, the interpretation of Social Representations of Physical Education has provided evidence for the elaboration of pedagogical proposal, which was presented as a methodological creating of specific work for these young and adults, highlighting one of the several forms of teaching enabling the realization of a new dynamic for the Physical Education curriculum inserted in EYA.
