As histórias em quadrinhos no ensino da educação física escolar: reflexões de uma experiência pedagógica

Abstract

This dissertation arose from a concern about the use of comic books at school, especially in Physical Education classes, considering that this form of language arouses greater interest in students because it involves playful characteristics. Comic books (comics) provide entertainment for young people and adults, but the intention of comics is not just fun and hobby, they can also have the function of informing, training and educating the citizen. In this sense, the study question of our work is: How do comic books in the teaching of Physical Education contribute to the expansion of pedagogical possibilities? The general objective of the study is to describe and analyze the pedagogical experience with comic books in the teaching of Physical Education in the second stage of elementary school. The research is characterized as being a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, and participant from a pedagogical intervention. The study setting is the State School Lauro de Castro, located in Natal/RN. The research involves a 6th grade class, 21 girls and 17 boys, totaling 38 students. The intervention took place in two stages: the first with in-person classes and the second with remote classes motivated by the pandemic crisis during the year 2020. With a total of 8 weeks (16 classes), each class lasting 50 minutes. Given this current educational scenario, it was necessary to reinvent ourselves at every moment, in order to propose an education that includes new ways of teaching, contributing to the teaching-learning of our students, providing opportunities for the formation of critical, reflective and creative individuals. The analysis of the pedagogical experience took the light of cultural analysis through two types of research material, namely: participant observation, with regard to processes, and students' productions, with regard to products. The interventional results of the research regarding the thematic contents of school Physical Education, showed a great differential for the development of skills such as: teamwork, in which students were motivated to work with colleagues, in the organization, where the same were involved in the distribution to carry out the tasks, exercise of authorship in developing their narratives through creative scripts, in addition to encouraging the student to have more autonomy, in view of the responsibility assigned to the student with the proposal.
