Strategies for educational practice transformation on physical education classes

continuing education within the scope of the university extension

Abstract

This text presents an experience report of an university extension course that was offered to physical education teachers from public schools in Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, and aims to present the actions of the Laboratory of Studies on School, Curriculum and Physical Education (LECEF). The report was elaborated from the methodology of memories of the course meetings. Among the specific objectives of the course we highlight: reflection on the educational reality aiming to identify the place of physical education in school education and its contribution to the elevation of critical awareness of students and teachers, as well as the development of curricular materials for school physical education. The courses offered seek, at the same time, to understand the reality, contextualizing it, and producing actions that can be triggered from this same practice of concrete subjects, which result in significant changes, mainly in the process of construction of school knowledge. The experiences of the courses extension are still alternatives for the involvement and the collective organization of public school professionals, searching for the transformation of educational practice. At the end of the course, it was possible to develop a teaching strategy focused on acrobatics for every year of schooling.
