Mídia e futebol feminino: indiferença e distorções

É perceptivo para todos que o futebol feminino não tem o mesmo tratamento e espaço dentro da mídia como tem o esporte masculino, várias seriam as razões que explicam tal acontecimento como, por exemplo, o histórico do futebol em nosso país e a difícil inserção da mulher dentro deste esporte que é tratado como uma reserva exclusivamente masculina, constituindo-se em um espaço privilegiado de exercício de poder. Compondo este cenário, o futebol, juntamente com outros esportes, como lutas, rugby, pólo aquático tiveram sua prática permitida por lei para a mulher há apenas 30 anos atrás. A questão que move este estudo busca compreender se este pouco espaço que lhe é dado está sendo tratado de forma digna e não preconceituosa. Neste sentido, o estudo se justifica devido ao aparente preconceito ainda existente no Brasil que é considerado o país do futebol, mas que ainda não consegue inserir as mulheres de maneira efetiva dentro dessa cultura, o que mostra o predomínio de mitos historicamente construídos. Para compreender este cenário a pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o discurso midiático, expresso por meio da narração e comentários dos atores que realizam a cobertura televisiva do futebol feminino, sendo que, mais especificamente, esta análise está circunscrita à cobertura da Rede Bandeirantes de Televisão ao Campeonato Mundial de Futebol Feminino da FIFA 2007, realizado na China, no período de 10 a 30 de setembro. Foram analisados, de maneira preliminar, três jogos desta competição, sendo um deles (Brasil x Austrália) selecionado para uma análise mais pormenorizada. Com base no que foi assistido dos jogos foram encontrados três tipos de comentários, os que comparam o jogo feminino com o masculino, os que dão ênfase à beleza das jogadoras, e os que buscam incentivar o futebol feminino no país. Conclui-se que o Brasil ainda precisa... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Basquetebol X temas transversais: a produção de material didático audiovisual para a Educação Física escolar

This study aimed, first, produce a kind of educational materials in audiovisual format, to the Physical Education, addressing the Transversal Themes in view of the basketball. The themes chosen were Cultural Plurality, addressing the basketball in a wheelchair, and Labor and Consumer Affairs, addressing the marketing and exploitation of labor force that the company is Nike. There is no doubt the importance of media production in contemporary society, as one of its main languages, but of little relevance in the school environment, especially in the area of Physical Education. In a second phase aimed at evaluating the feasibility of this material both as a teaching strategy, such as content of learning lessons. The evaluation was made through a discussion in the form of focus groups with 10 students from 9 th grade of elementary school. The results showed that despite an initial rejection of the material as a teaching strategy because of the history that Physical Education has for several years, students were open to new ways of learning. Since the results on the material, such as learning content, showed that the videos were able to address and the Transversal Themes and meet the need for procedural content with the proposed activities. With this, we realize that students are willing to discuss matters that are not always addressed, but now, with the creation of national curriculum standards should be reflected in the classroom

Orientação espacial em pessoas com deficiência visual: um estudo de triangulação por meio de monitoramento remoto

This study was conducted to investigate how visually impaired people perform distance estimation tasks by movement and navigation during deprivation of effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. For that they performed the task of walking three distances, being the first and second of 100 meters and the third of 140 meters (triangulation) from a point of origin in open field on a inverted L shaped trajectory and then returning to the origin. The first and second tasks were driven by means of a guide with GPS adapted to the study coordinates, and the third one was freeform with three sessions, the first without perceptual and proprioceptive restrictions, the second without auditory perception, and the third in a wheelchair, without proprioception. The objective of this study was to indicate the differences in distance reproduction in relation to accuracy and investigate the spatial representation of participants in a navigation task, in which there is active movement, but no effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. Results showed that the average participants underestimated distances producing average angles close to the value of 45°. And by means of the "t" students test no significant differences between subjects can be pointed out. To achieve these results we used remote monitoring by GPS and software TrackMaker.

Tarefas de triangulação com restrições perceptuais em pessoas com deficiência auditiva: um estudo por meio de gps

This study aimed to investigate how people with hearing disability perform tasks of distances estimation for locomotion and navigation when deprived of effective perceptual and proprioceptive information. For this, participants with hearing disability went three distances being the first and second 100 meters and the third 140 meters (triangulation) from a source point in an inverted L open field trajectory and then returned to the origin, and the first two were driven by a researcher guide with adapted GPS coordinates of the study, and the third being three free-form sessions, the first one without any perceptual and proprioceptive restriction, the second without visual perception, and the third on the wheel-chair, that is, without proprioception. The results showed that people with hearing disability without the knowledge of the path do not possess satisfactory accuracy but when they learn the way even with the restriction of visual perception and proprioception they can return to the starting point in a task of triangulation. The "t" students test with a significance level of 5% (2.131) indicates significant differences between the first task without any perceptual restriction and the third where they performed in the wheelchair. To achieve these results we used remote monitoring via GPS and the TrackMaker software.

O rúgbi e seus valores educacionais na escola

Physical education in their school environment can contribute positively in the training of students as it is in this discipline that many students feel more motivated to discuss and reflect on conflicts related to school life or in society. In this study we treat the rugby exploring attitudes and values that are present in this sport, considered important for the development of the student, with the methodological approach the dimensions of the contents developed by Coll et al. (2000) and Zabala (1998). Thus, the aim of this study was to develop rugby content emphasizing the values linked to it with students of the 5th year of primary education in a public school in the city of Rio Claro / SP. Among the values are integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect that will be developed through conceptual and procedural lessons about rugby and its educational values, also taking advantage of situations up to during classes for discussions. The survey was conducted for 3 months. The evaluation was by holding a tournament organized by the students and by the researcher to observe what they learned regarding the dimensions of rugby contents (conceptual, Procedural and Attitudinal) and an essay where students expressed the experiences. As a result we see the importance of working educational values in society and the implementation of educational sports at school as a motivational tool. With the contribution of this research, it is expected that rugby can be worked in schools as an educational sport for the training of the individual and the development of physical culture of the students

O mito Mandela e o sonho de uma nação arco-íris

Nelson Mandela has been an example of fighting and going over the adversities since his prison in 1962 until his election to be the president of South Africa in 1994. His effort against the apartheid in South Africa might be compared to a classical hero according to the anthropological view of Eliade (1972), Campbell (1991; 2007) and Propp’s structuralist perspective (1984). His journey toward heroism and his strategies to get the adhesion of the white minority (Afrikaners) to his purposes of joining the races in South Africa will be analyzed in this article with the theoretical support of the Greimasian semiotics, Propp’s studies (1984) and anthropology. The movie Invictus will be the object of analysis as it shows the moment of Mandela’s social-political fight as the president, with the support of the local rugby team in order to have the racial integration in the country and the political support of the white minority.

Persuasão ou performance: as estratégias comunicacionais para transformar o rúgbi em paixão nacional
