A produção do conhecimento em educação física escolar no Brasil (2001-2010)

Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the state of the art in the area of Physical Education, in the last decade (2001/2010), from the perspective of four journals: journal Motriz, journal Movimento, Revista Brasileira de Ciência e Movimento e Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Esporte. We start with a preliminary stage of research, exploratory study that sought to select the studies mentioned in the journals, which have interface with the physical education. We conducted an initial reading of the material collected. This was a phase of contact and assimilation of the first impressions of the texts in order to let go of prejudices and risks of the pitfalls common sense, that keep us from having a broader view of the area. Thus, we emerge in a natural sense of their cores, allowing the summaries themselves "speak" and submit the following categories: Category 1 - Proposed or curricular and pedagogical intervention; Category 2 - Verification / awareness / educational diagnosis of the situation ; category 3 - Experiences of teaching and learning; category 4 - Historical studies; category 5 - biological studies, and category 6 - other studies. After this step, the items were distributed among them. After this step, was proposed content analysis of category 3, believing that it is the closest to the study objectives, it is possible to identify models and empirical research with already implemented or proposed to the school routine. The research is descriptive and qualitative nature, using content analysis to understand the core meaning of the selected articles. We conclude that the retrospective analysis shows an improvement with respect to proposals for empirical research propositional-interventionist, which, in our view, give clues about the shortcomings of the pedagogical focus of the teacher and the actors are on stage in school life. However, as demonstrated in section 3.5, most studies confirm the initial hypothesis, in which the knowledge produced in physical education is geared primarily to review the studies and tests. As needed, we can say that, as in any scientific field, it is necessary to undertake new research, and here we emphasize the third category, because such research enable new discoveries to the field of physical education continues to evolve. Based on 16 studies also analyzed the category, we can see that there is no theoretical consensus on the real object of physical education, because in truth, an area so comprehensive, it should not really hold a single object, but "objects of study.
