Educação física escolar: analisando experiências do currículo cultural

Abstract

The present work aims to understand the approach of the Cultural Curriculum of physical education at school, identifying its limits and possibilities from the mapping and analysis of experience reports from the Research Group on School Physical Education (GPEF) at the University of São Paulo (USP). We consider that the Physical Education school curriculum passes through different conceptions, from the traditional curricula, through the critical curriculum, to the post-critical one. The Cultural Curriculum of Physical Education, considered post-critical and based on Cultural Studies and Multiculturalism, seeks to understand body culture from the cultural productions of society and the differences of subjects. Therefore, we developed a qualitative research approach of the documentary type, based on the analysis of experience reports developed by teachers of the Research Group on School Physical Education (GPEF) at the University of São Paulo (USP), which is the main group that focuses on the study of this theme, in order to identify possible limits and possibilities in its didactic procedures, which in this approach is understood as Pedagogical Forwardings. We conclude that the Cultural Curriculum of Physical Education has much to add to the area, albeit with some limitations.
