A importância da ludicidade na escola na perspectiva de professores atuantes nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental

The play and playfulness as well as school subjects are ways that the teacher has in the classroom to mediate the relationship between knowledge and the students, providing an easier and more enjoyable learning. This paper aims to analyze how teachers in the early years of primary education, the areas of Physical Education, Education, Art and English, assesses the importance of playfulness at school, define concepts such as the playful, playing, their importance for the learning and social life. Field research through interviews with nine teachers was conducted, six Educationalists teachers, an art professor, an English and physical education teacher. The results indicated that most of these teachers mediates learning through playfulness that children have better learning when the pedagogical work occurs through play, and feel more motivated to attend school. Participants have the idea that playfulness is the play and the play and say the school should value the playful, and need support from the school staff and the community. In conclusion, the playful should be part of everyday school life and more than a teaching strategy, should be valued in the integral formation of the individual

Formação continuada de professores como um projeto coletivo e de identidade profissional

This research is part of the field of teacher training, especially developed the topic of continuing education. There is, according to the literature, the importance of this training for teachers as a sort of continuum, trajectory in which the teacher will (re) building their knowledge throughout their lives, in order to provide knowledge and values that add to your practice teaching. However, often the training activities are designed for knowledge transmitter model forming agent for the teacher, disregarding the different contexts of school communities, this strategy which hardly reaches the real needs of teachers in their daily lives. It is evident, too, the need to provide, in training moments, spaces to engage in dialogue and reflect on the teachers profession today, (re) building thus their teacher identity. In this context, the objective of this research is to examine whether the continued formation is configured as a collective construction and as a space for reflection on what it means to be a teacher. The research is characterized by a qualitative approach, and to collect data, we used the semi-structured interview technique. Participants were five teachers in the areas of Physical Education, History, English, Portuguese and Mathematics, a state school Treble city education (SP). The results show the importance of continuing education for teachers, which provides reflections, discussions, acquisition of knowledge and skills that contribute to its performance, motivating and developing strategies to enable them to face the challenges of everyday life and reflect collectively on what it means to be a teacher. It was concluded that continuing education for this group of teachers is configured as a space for collective construction, which together with other teachers rethink, reflect and continuously reconstruct their practices and objectives, and enables reflection on the teaching profession constantly. It will be essential, therefore...

Circo social: uma ação da educação física na educação não formal

This work is the fruitful result of the desire to conduct a collaborative investigation through Circus Arts with children and adolescents at social (vulnerability) risk. Thus, the very objective of the rese arch was to analyze and understand Social Circus action possibilities on non-formal education as a (viable) job option for Physical Education teachers. This research was developed through qualitative research using Field Notes as the main instrument for the meetings' data collection, which took place from May to December 2015. In general terms, the research was divided into three phases, the former was carried out at a state school through the Escola da Família Program, (which consists of the opening of all public schools on weekends, offering to the communities extra activities) and the latter two in Shelter Homes for adolescents. The results showed that there were some (considerable) difficulties throughout and some gaps in our society that become evident on the poor. Furthermore, the results also confirm the possibility of the Physical Education teachers' participation in other sectors of the society, through the non-formal Education perspective and the possibility of Social Circus as the (fundamental) instrument of this action

Performance of Down syndrome subjects during a coincident timing task

Abstract Background The time synchronization is a very important ability for the acquisition and performance of motor skills that generate the need to adapt the actions of body segments to external events of the environment that are changing their position in space. Down Syndrome (DS) individuals may present some deficits to perform tasks with synchronization demand. We aimed to investigate the performance of individuals with DS in a simple Coincident Timing task. Method 32 individuals were divided into 2 groups: the Down syndrome group (DSG) comprised of 16 individuals with average age of 20 (+/− 5 years old), and a control group (CG) comprised of 16 individuals of the same age. All individuals performed the Simple Timing (ST) task and their performance was measured in milliseconds. The study was conducted in a single phase with the execution of 20 consecutive trials for each participant. Results There was a significant difference in the intergroup analysis for the accuracy adjustment - Absolute Error (Z = 3.656, p = 0.001); and for the performance consistence - Variable Error (Z = 2.939, p = 0.003). Conclusion DS individuals have more difficulty in integrating the motor action to an external stimulus and they also present more inconsistence in performance. Both groups presented the same tendency to delay their motor responses.

Educação física escolar: entre inquietudes e impertinências

O presente ensaio tem por objetivo analisar os conceitos de abordagem de ensino e tendências pedagógicas no campo da Educação Física Escolar. A partir da exploração da literatura especializada, foi possível indagar sobre o grau de consistência interna das teorias pedagógicas produzidas nos anos 80 e 90 do século passado, como propostas sistematizadas para o ensino da Educação Física e suas implicações para o processo de formação docente. Desta forma, é proposto que a partir de uma aproximação acadêmica e profissional, seja possível promover um avanço na direção da sistematização do conhecimento.

Teorias curriculares, perspectivas teóricas em educação física escolar e implicações para a formação docente

A função do professor de educação física escolar pode ser definida pela elaboração, implantação e avaliação de programas que tematizam, do ponto de vista didático-pedagógico, jogos, esportes, lutas, ginásticas, danças, exercícios físicos, entre outros; com a intenção de influenciar a formação dos alunos para a participação democrática na vida em sociedade. Todavia, este consenso se dilui quando aplicado ao campo do currículo e da formação docente. No campo do currículo, apesar do reconhecimento de que a tematização didático-pedagógica se faz a partir de sentidos culturais e das potencialidades de estimulação do organismo humano que se apresentam nas manifestações da cultura de movimento; a intencionalidade, a organização curricular e a sistematização do conhecimento podem divergir consideravelmente modificando o papel do componente curricular na educação básica. Sendo assim, este texto analisa aspectos do desenvolvimento das teorias curriculares, relacionando-as às perspectivas teóricas em Educação Física. Em seguida, implicações deste debate são relacionadas à formação docente.

Orientação sexual e educação física: sobre a prática pedagógica do professor na escola

Na escola a sexualidade é tópico polêmico, em face da multipicidade de visões, crenças e valores de seus diversos atores. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar como os professores de Educação Física compreendem o papel deste componente curricular no trabalho de orientação sexual nos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. A metodologia utilizada foi de natureza qualitativa, e a entrevista semiestruturada foi a estratégia escolhida para a coleta dos dados descritivos presentes no discurso dos professores. Os resultados indicaram que a Educação Física congrega elementos importantes ligados à sexualidade, sobretudo ao trabalhar diretamente "com o corpo" e "no corpo", por meio de seus conteúdos. A esse respeito, sugere-se a construção de um currículo escolar no qual o corpo apareça como elemento central na articulação de projetos interdisciplinares, e ressalta-se a necessidade de os professores conhecerem os mecanismos corporais que resultam em bloqueios e dificuldades emocionais ligados à sexualidade.

Muscular development and physical activity as major determinants of femoral bone mass acquisition during growth

[EN] OBJECTIVES: To investigate to what extent bone mass accrual is determined by physical activity and changes in lean, fat, and total body mass during growth. METHODS: Twenty six physically active and 16 age matched control boys were followed up for three years. All subjects were prepubertal at the start of the survey (mean (SEM) age 9.4 (0.3) years). The weekly physical activity of the active boys included compulsory physical education sessions (80-90 minutes a week), three hours a week of extracurricular sports participation, and occasional sports competitions at weekends. The physical activity of the control group was limited to the compulsory physical education curriculum. Bone mineral content (BMC) and areal density (BMD), lean mass, and fat mass were measured by dual energy x ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: The effect of sports participation on femoral bone mass accrual was remarkable. Femoral BMC and BMD increased twice as much in the active group as in the controls over the three year period (p < 0.05). The greatest correlation was found between the increment in femoral bone mass and the increment in lean mass (BMC r = 0.67 and BMD r = 0.69, both p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed enhancement in lean mass as the best predictor of the increment in femoral bone BMC (R = 0.65) and BMD (R = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS: Long term sports participation during early adolescence results in greater accrual of bone mass. Enhancement of lean mass seems to be the best predictor of this bone mass accumulation. However, for a given muscle mass, a greater level of physical activity is associated with greater bone mass and density in peripubertal boys.

Detección de violencia escolar en adolescentes en la clase de educación física

[ES] La educación es el medio más prolífico para la adquisición de habilidades y actitudes que modelan la personalidad de los infantes. El comportamiento óptimo como medio de relación social, está iniciado primeramente por la percepción corporal. El trabajo centra su mirada en la relación que el sujeto escolar construye con sus iguales a partir de la convivencia motriz. El espacio ideal para modelar y observar la corporeidad es la clase de educación física.

Analisi della relazione tra temperamento, stati psicobiosociali e variabili psicofisiche rispetto ai diversi compiti e strategie metodologiche

L’attività fisica produce effetti benefici a livello mentale (Biddle et al.,2004) e sembra agire sull’emozione modificando attitudini e motivazioni verso la pratica motoria (Digelidis et al., 2003) a partire da sensazioni come il piacere o la noia del fare (Spray et al., 1999). Da questi presupposti il progetto che comprendeva l’analisi di due studi volti a verificare gli effetti dell’attività motoria e sportiva in ambito scolastico, sui comportamenti di adattamento sociale e self efficacy dei bambini. Un terzo studio, di analisi qualitativa, in ambito calcistico, per verificare correlazioni tra orientamento motivazionale genitoriale e comportamenti di adattamento sociale dei figli. Gli strumenti di rilevazione dei livelli di adattamento sociale (Caprara et al, 1992) e self efficacy (Colella, 2008), sono stati somministrati prima e dopo il trattamento delle relative attività motorie mentre, l’orientamento motivazionale dei genitori (Borgogni et al, 2004) è stato rilevato una volta e confrontato con l’adattamento sociale dei figli. Il modulatore del primo studio, l’attività ad alto contenuto emotivo o aggressivo, ha mostrato variazioni significative (p<.05) nei livelli di aggressività fisica-verbale e di comportamento pro sociale tra i 2 gruppi, confermando la letteratura sull’argomento (Pellegrini, in Storch e Roth, 2005; Vaughn, 2005; Tappern e Boulton, 2005). Il modulatore del secondo studio, rappresentato dal giocosport rugby, sempre realizzato nelle ore curricolari di educazione fisica, ha evidenziato differenze significative (p<.05) nell’aumentata self efficacy da parte del gruppo sperimentale, con effetto preponderante sulle femmine rispetto ai maschi. Il terzo studio, descrittivo, ha evidenziato la correlazione tra orientamento motivazionale dei genitori e instabilità emotiva dei figli in risposta a profili genitoriali tendenti alla leadership o al successo nell’ambito lavorativo. I risultati evidenziati mostrano effetti significativi (p<.05), successivi al trattamento, sui comportamenti di adattamento sociale, aggressivo e sulla self efficacy a conferma, della letteratura, sull’importanza di determinate esperienze motorie in età scolare.

Dynamic Activity-Related Incentives for Physical Activity.

The present studies adopted the theoretical framework of activity- and purpose-related incentives (Rheinberg, 2008) to explain the maintenance of physical activity. We hypothesized that activity-related incentives (e.g., “fun”) increase more than purpose-related incentives (e.g., “health”) between the initiation and maintenance phase of physical activity. Additionally, change in activity-related incentives was hypothesized to be a better predictor of maintenance of physical activity than change in purpose-related incentives. Two correlative field studies with rehabilitation patients (Study 1) and Nordic Walkers (Study 2) were conducted to test the hypotheses. Participants’ incentives of physical activity were measured at the beginning of exercising and two weeks (Study 1; T2) and three months (Study 2; T2) later. At T2, participants were asked for their current physical activity. Both studies showed a greater change of activity-related incentives than purpose-related incentives. Furthermore, change in activity-related incentives was more predictive of the maintenance of physical activity than change in purpose-related incentives. The results showed the important role of activity-related incentives in maintenance of physical activity. The theoretical contribution to physical activity maintenance research and practical implications for health promotion programs were discussed.
