Produção do conhecimento em Educação Física escolar: a questão da saúde

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the health concepts implicit in the monographs produced in the Physical Education Degree Course at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (UFRPE), based on the mapping of these productions and identifying their contributions to the understanding of the concept of health in the context of the formation of Physical Education teachers. To this end, we carried out a qualitative research, of documentary type, having as main source, the monographs whose objects of study present the relationship between Health, Physical Education and School, delivered in the period of 2013-2019, considering those that were available online line until March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, published in the Integrated Library System / UFRPE. Thus, we realized that, of the 142 monographs that we accessed for analysis, only 4 of them are directly related to the topic in question, which indicated that the individual perspective is still a strong presence in the authors' references, pointing out the need to expand the studies, and a closer relationship with references that address health in a collective perspective, for Physical Education to advance in its field of intervention.
