Contribuição da formação em Educação Física para a atuação de professores de lutas ex-atletas da modalidade

Abstract

Fights have been present in humanity since the beginning, when men disputed among themselves for food and territory, as well as fighting for survival with animals. Time has passed and Fights have gained other meanings, such as training athletes for belt or medal disputes, or simply keeping the body in activity. The Fights had their movements studied and perfected, they gained rules, norms, and media space. Physical Education, responsible for studying bodily practices, also focused on them, in the physical, technical, physiological aspects, among other aspects. However, a performance based exclusively on practical references and reproductions of pedagogical practices by the masters persists in the job market. The present research aims to verify if the knowledge acquired in the formation of physical education modifies the pedagogical practice of ex-athletes who are teachers of the sport. The study included 19 Fight teachers from the metropolitan region of Recife, from the Taekwondo, Karate and Judo modalities, who teach in clubs, schools, associations, or gyms. Teachers answered a semi-structured interview with questions related to their pedagogical practice. The results showed that there was a change in the pedagogical practice of these professionals, based on the answers they presented in the interview, concluding that the experiences and knowledge accessed in the training in Physical Education contributed to modifying the practice of these Fight professionals. Being the subjects in the health and training area the most cited by the interviewed professionals as a change in this practice, although there is an influence from previous generations, professionals report that there was an advance in terms of the reproduction of pedagogical practices and mistaken habits.
