This dissertation entitled "In banzeiro Amazon: challenges and opportunities for physical education classes in schools floodplain of the Municipality of Santarém- Pará" has the general objective to present and discuss the challenges and difficulties of the teacher without professional qualification to teach Physical Education in the floodeplain area of the city of Santarém, having specific objectives: 1) identify the challenges that emerge from the floodplain environment that relate to everyday teaching and physical spaces for Physical Education classes; 2) conduct a survey of the difficulties of the teacher without professional qualification to teach Physical Education, as well as the class model developed. To achieve the objectives stated above, the present study made use of a qualitative approach based on the technique of the case study. The research was developed in approximately five months at the school of São Ciríaco do Urucurituba community located on the banks of the Amazon River, in the region of Santarém and occurred in two stages: first, records were made through photographs and notes in the field journal about everyday life and on local conditions for implementing the lessons; at another stage, held simultaneously at first, we attempted to identify the difficulties associated with teaching practices in Physical Education classes in school, through observation of lessons, interview with the teacher responsible and with two groups of students, and analysis of a Course plan submitted by the teacher. After analyzing the context of lessons, we modified the posture to participant observer. In this phase, we provide a training studies in which relevant issues were developed for the teacher. This change of attitude was important for confirming information already collected and adding others that were recorded in the field diary, added photographs and filming. Search results lay bare the challenges that emerge from the everyday living of people with the river, as the risks of facing a storm or make a crossing; aspects of seasonality of flood and ebb, because the community is located in floodplain area; as well as the inherent difficulties of the floodplain environment, such as the phenomenon of "grown lands" that occurs during the ebb of the river and altering the physical space of the implementation of lessons. Furthermore, it was found that the teacher's practice was quite limited by lack of knowledge of the contents of Physical Education and teaching methodologies, which caused a limitation in conducting their classes based on two pedagogical models of the area, employed by her: the "roll the ball" and "sportsmanship". How prospect of improvement for this framework, the pedagogical model described in the National Curriculum Standards in line with the reality of space and materials available was presented during the training.
