Dissertação (Mestrado em Educação) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/21309During school life the textbook, which is commonly used in various curriculum components, appears as one of the possible materials to help teachers in pedagogical practice. Such tool, used by teachers and students, allows a connection of what should be the agenda in the educational relations, by proposing activities and texts that guide discussions, experiences and research. As the focus of this research lies in public education, we seek to make a study of the publications in the area of education. The state of Paraná was the pioneer in the production of a public textbook, aimed to be used by both teachers and students, which is in its 2nd edition and being issued since 2006. A similar initiative can be found in the northeast region of the country, where the publication of the Public Book of the city of João Pessoa, capital of Paraíba, is available since 2012. Despite being a new kind of publication, little known and still controversial to the area, it is necessary to investigate what is being issued in the market. The selection of these publications were also supported by their online availability, and are the result of collective construction between teachers of different levels of the educational system - from elementary school to higher education. The work has the main objective of analyzing textbooks for the teaching of physical education in two public school systems, which include different and representative levels of education for the professional area, considering the settings of books, their contents, objectives, methodology, and evaluation methods. To deepen the field of research, it was regarded the following questions in the study: A) How do we configure the textbooks of Physical Education in public education systems? B) How are they structured when we consider the contents of school physical education? C) What are the weaknesses and the progress of the textbooks? This research is characterized by the study of qualitative aspects, and yields the discussions from the content analysis proposed by Bardin. For the discussion of the work analysis, it was defined categories, namely: Theoretical Matrix, Purpose of Physical Education at School, Contents, Methodology and Evaluation. With specifics, the categories were discussed for each book. In conclusion, the importance of work for teachers who work in the school ground is significant, in reference perspective to think about the contents to be discussed and experienced in physical education classes of real and possible. By having the feature of available online can serve as material for other teachers of other education systems, not limited to one geographical area that was first thought and writing. In addition , these works may be a reference to other public systems of education to build their own textbooks establishing relationships between training agencies and teachers who live the reality of the school.Acesso AbertoEducação física escolarLivro didáticoSistemas públicos de ensinomasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
