Gestão e autonomia no currículo de educação física: caminhos para a desconstrução da imagem de “jogadores de bola”

Abstract

In this essay, we performed a bibliographical study on literature that presented our key words together in the academic platforms of Scielo and Eric, as well as an exploratory study on the curriculum of physical education licentiateship course of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. The aim was to see if the themes of management and autonomy are included in its grid. We set off from the premise that the presence of these concerns in the initial training of graduates in physical education licentiateship course can contribute to minimize the (negative) image of common sense about physical education teachers as mere football players. This is so because, depending on the curricular design of initial formation, such prerogatives, when present in the grid, could help train professionals not to worry just with the technical and competitive part of the physical education. It could also train them to see teaching physical education as a field of knowledge in itself that can contribute to the formation of ethical and political professionals, mobilized by the defense of human rights and the common good. The results showed the absence of such themes in the curriculum of the course and a low incidence of articles that bring the key words together, which for us can be an indicator of the reasons why the negative image of these professionals exist in the common sense
