Abstract
ABSTRACT: Physical Education was included in the National Textbook Plan (PNLD) in 2019, and the teacher's manual was the adopted book model. This article analyzes the insertion of Physical Education in this program and considers the context of textbooks in this curricular component and the alignment of teacher manuals with the neoliberal curricular policies that have invaded the field of Brazilian education in the recent decades. First, we present the context of Physical Education textbooks in Brazil, from gymnastics guides to textbooks, and to PNLD manuals, a moment in which school Physical Education obtains new relevance in the publishing market. Then, we conduct an analysis of the textbook collection with the highest number of copies sold in 2019 and 2020, named Corporal Practices, from the Editora Moderna publishing company, revealing how it can be seen as one of the signs of ongoing neoliberal curricular reforms. Finally, we sound an alarm regarding the emergence of a sense of school Physical Education shaped by the market and point out alternatives to teacher manuals in order to escape the current market-oriented logic.
