Formação do professor de educação física no Brasil: as contribuições da capoeira para a educação integral

Abstract

This work approached the development of physical education (PE) professor in Brazil and its relations with professional education, considering Capoeira practicing as part of professor’s integral education process and is linked to the following research line: Docent Formation for Professional and Technological Education of the Professional and Technological Education Post-Graduation Program from UFSM. This was a bibliographic research and revised, historically, the formation of PE Professor in its relation with Capoeira. There were, in this case, two aspects to be considered: the creation of PE schools, whose curriculums will compose the PE professors’ formation, in its formal aspects and not formal practices as the Capoeira case. The proper Capoeira knowledge has a popular origin and was constituted during the presence of slaves in the country. This practice seems to reach highly developed levels, in other words, it does not look like just an Afro-Brazilian cultural heritage, but a typical popular Brazilian creation. In its inner there were crossover themes as affirmative public politics and popular culture; Capoeira; formal physical education; not formal physical education and racial discrimination. This research used the dialectic method, considering the many contradictions proper from a society class and its implications in the educational process. It was given special emphases to the Brazilian PE and Capoeira history. The critical discussion of those themes was followed by specific bibliography.
