A educação física na perspectiva dos estudantes do ensino médio em escolas públicas do estado de Pernambuco

Abstract

The present research seeks to investigate the importance of Physical Education in teenagers' schooling process, in which we still face differences of valorization among the other school subjects. Thus, we wonder: what is the perception of high school students regarding Physical Education during this stage of education? We defined as a general objective: to analyze the perception of high school students from state public schools in Pernambuco regarding the valorization of Physical Education. As specific objectives of the research we have: Identify the knowledge proposed in the education policies aimed at school Physical Education for High School; Identify the knowledge acquired by students over Physical Education in High School and identify the appreciation of Physical Education students in High School on this school subject. Seeking to answer the research question, we searched for a bibliographic theoretical support and used, for the data survey, the application of a questionnaire to Senior students to identify the knowledge acquired about Physical Education and understand the importance and valuation attributed to Physical Education. The analysis of the forms was performed using the Textual Discourse Analysis methodology of MORAES and GALIAZZI (2006). As a conclusion of the research, we can state that Physical Education has importance and valuation for Senior students for being a relevant knowledge in the schooling process and for their lives. We believe that the construction of this methodological path ensured a fruitful initial discussion about the perception of high school students concerning Physical Education during this stage of education.
