A aderência nas aulas de Educação Física no ensino médio: o caso do Colégio Estadual Justiniano de Serpa

Abstract

The discipline of Physical Education at school has been gradually growing and gaining space within the school environment, in all its stages and modalities. However, many challenges are still present in this profession, one of them, brought to light by the debate in this work, which is the lack of adherence of girls in practical classes of Physical Education in High School. This theme is little explored within academic circles, a situation that was evident in the production of the state of the art in this work, which researched just under two and a half thousand articles, of which only nine out of this universe dealt with this problem. A field research was then carried out with the students regularly enrolled at the Colégio Estadual Justiniano de Serpa, located in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, to initially assess the reasons that distanced them from the practical moments of the discipline. Soon afterwards, armed with the data, a practical intervention plan was created, aiming to increase the adherence of this audience, bringing to the classes the activities that they themselves had listed as pleasant and interesting. With this first moment, a small increase in the adherence of the research target audience was achieved. But with the data obtained in this first intervention project, it was possible to trace a second moment that occurred in an experimental way after classes, which eliminated some difficulties that were pointed out by the students as limiting their participation, such as the short time for post-class hygiene and to return to the other times and the weather of the climate to which the students were exposed. The project worked on an experimental basis for just over a month, where it was offered to the students gymnastic activities, rhythm classes and functional three times a week. At the end of this second intervention project, the perceived increase in adherence by girls was considerable, with an overall average of almost 100 girls. These results prove that even the discipline of Physical Education at school facing great challenges within the school environment it is possible for teachers to outline strategies to transform challenges and difficulties into opportunities, so that no student or student has the right to experience their stagnant corporeality, helping thus in their integral formation.
