Compondo percursos gestuais: a dança na formação inicial de professores de Educação Física

Abstract

This research aimed to reflect about the experiences of teaching in higher education, lived through the intervention of the knowledge of dance in a discipline of the teaching course in Physical Education of a public University of the State of Minas Gerais, from 2013 to 2015. Four classes of fourth quarter participated in the survey, totaling 173 students of both sexes. The initial planning of the intervention occurred in July 2013, and was restructured in subsequent semesters. We have adopted the approach of action research in conjunction with the contributions of cultural studies. We have found that the study and experimentation of coreológicos elements were fundamental to the body research, subsidizing practice, creation, reflection and appreciation, contributing to the education of sensitivities and the dilution of dichotomies between form and content.
