Body training of physical education students for development of processes of body literacy in school

narratives of learning of an educational practice markedly freirean

Abstract

The focus of this study was to record a point of view on the process of initial training of teachers and to present the narratives of learning that, in this case, were established by the relationship with the knowledge of the teacher researcher and their learners in the course of a formative process. We adopted the narrative qualitative research in order to provoke in the participants the encounter with their experiences during the formative process. The research locus was the Physical Education course of (xxxx). Twenty-three students of the Physical Education course regularly enrolled in the fourth semester in the discipline of “Methodology of Physical Education Teaching” participated in the study. The research showed that it is not possible to structure markedly bodily educational processes without relating to nature and culture. More than that, we find in human activities a fertile ground for thematization and problematization of the concrete realities of the world experienced by the subjects. We concluded that human activities allow people to go in the direction of an education of the body - an education that in fact elects the learners and their history as learners as a guiding axis of their own learning and body literacy.
