Professor de Educação Física e sua participação na gestão escolar: contribuições para a formação profissional

Abstract

The P.E teachers, based on their profession history disconnected from the teaching pedagogical knowledge, many times, exempt themselves from actively acting in activities which involve the School Education process. Facing this, the objective of this investigation was to analyze the P.E teacher participation in the school management and his/her contribution to his/her professional education. The methodology used was based on phenomenology and qualitative approach. The study participants were five P.E. teachers working in state schools in the city of Santa Maria (RS). To collect information, semi-structured interviews were done with theses teachers, having the interpretation being followed by content analysis. It became evident that the teachers, as much as possible, are trying to keep up with the slow transformation process from educational administration paradigm to the educational management one, as they make an effort to participate in the educative instancies of developed school work formation and evaluation, even though many limiting factors to their actions as managers appear in these spaces. They believe that participating in the school management brings benefits to their transformation, their teaching practice and their professional development through different perspectives.
