Natação escolar na produção do conhecimento em Educação Física

Abstract

Swimming is an important skill to be developed by everyone, and physical education has already developed means to present the teaching of the necessary skills to master the body over the water, and then the learning of sport swimming. In this study, the problem is based on questioning the production of knowledge about school swimming in journals, to qualitatively address the presence or absence of this theme, how it is approached in schools, if what is taught can be used in some way. pedagogically or if it just boils down to gesture for gesture's sake. The objective of this study is to analyze the sport as a social phenomenon, an element of body culture and swimming within it. Historically report how the man-water relationship emerged in the history of humanity, how it developed and how it presents itself. Also treat the swimming phenomenon as an object of Physical Education teaching and how it should be treated pedagogically at school. And to analyze in the production of knowledge how school swimming has been treated according to academic production. By comparing 17 studies from 1999 to 2022 through a qualitative approach and analyzing them from the perspective of the critical-overcoming approach of Physical Education, we could have a glimpse of some regularities on the subject, and some aspects that refer to singularities found in each study selected. The results found suggest little progress on the subject, bringing the same problems already known by older publications and it is verified that the practice of swimming, despite being extremely important for human development, is neglected in society in general, and there are few spaces where working-class children can access this systematized knowledge.
