Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the composition of the curricular matrices of the Public Institutions of Higher Education in the State of Pernambuco, verifying which subjects, competences and contents related to the theme of Management are treated during the academic formation of undergraduates in Physical Education. There is also the intention of emphasizing the importance of this knowledge for undergraduates, and thus, the research starts from the historical context, from the times when administration had not yet become a science, until contemporary times, enabling the analysis of the curricula of the courses, seeking to answer questions related to Management in Physical Education degrees, namely: What is the need for the Organization and Management of Physical Education for academic training? What are the reasons to study content apparently from another area of knowledge? Why should Physical Education graduates be concerned with management, be it environments, businesses or people, if a company will not be their place of work? Why promote events if the student's training will be (is) directed to conducting Physical Education classes? Since management is important for the academic training of Physical Education graduates, is this content also offered in other courses at higher education institutions in the public network? In this way, the study was carried out through a documentary research, where we analyzed the primary documents of the 05 public IES in the state of PE, such as: the Pedagogical Projects of the Course, Curriculum Grades and updated Teaching Plans, verifying how the disciplines related to the content of Physical Education Management. The results bring the analysis of the offer of the contents directly related to the management that are being offered by the institutions and the way in which this knowledge is attributed to what is expected of the students of each course, where we verify that the referred disciplines are divided in 'organization and events', 'administrative principles' and 'educational management', however, all offer content directly related to management, whether satisfactory or not for the objectives outlined in the course's pedagogical projects.
