NEW TRENDS IN THE TEACHING-LEARNING OF UNIVERSITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION: A theoretical-reflective review

Abstract

Objective: To investigate new trends in the teaching-learning of university physical education through a review. Methodology: Its model is a theoretical-reflective review. Therefore, the search platforms were: Google Scholar and PubMed. The keywords were scanned as English and Portuguese, as follows: “Physical Education”, “University”, “High School”, “Trends”. It should be noted that the Boolean operator “and” was used between words. Results: 639 articles were presented in PubMed and 421 works in Google Scholar. By reading the titles and abstracts of the works, a total of 19 works were selected. It was decided to divide the information into four topics. The first deals with “Online Learning”, explaining the ease that the online method provides for the population. The second topic addresses “Technology Integration”, aiming to understand how the integration of technology can contribute to teaching-learning. The third topic talks about “Flexible Approaches”, reinforcing strategies that can be used by teachers and institutions, as a way of assisting in teaching-learning. The last topic addresses “Challenges Presented”, showing the limitations that the academic community may face. Conclusion: By investigating new trends in teaching-learning in university physical education, it was possible to understand that trends have manifested themselves and impacted the current educational scenario in several ways.
