Abstract

The objective of this work was to understand the contributions of the Karate practice to the third year students of a school in the municipality of Garanhuns, and as specific objectives: to discuss about the importance of Karate practice in the school environment; identify the formative contributions experienced in karate classes, and develop pedagogical activities that foster in students the commitment to discipline and respect in the school community in which they are inserted. We raise the following question: how to use karate in the learning process of learners in the initial years of elementary school? With the research we realize that Education manifests itself in different ways and karate has contributed to the consolidation of the type of learning that the school (place of intervention) believes. The activities provided greater interaction among participants, but also allowed for self-reflection on individual and collective behaviors, which collaborated in the consolidation of contents, bringing about an approximation of the classes involved. The type of research chosen (research-action) allowed the closest contact and an involvement that had as a characteristic the daily planning of how to act before the new challenges witnessed in the execution of the classes. Through the analyzes, we observed that karate can contribute to the formative process, for this it is necessary to work the principles that permeate its essence: respect and discipline, important elements to achieve the goals of a school community committed to learning.
