Equidade de gênero na formação docente em Educação Física

Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the possibilities of producing educational practices aligned with gender equity in the training of Physical Education teachers, especially in the team sports disciplines. A qualitative exploratory research was carried out, with the participation of 41 students from 4 team sports disciplines from a degree course in Physical Education. The research sources were produced from focus groups and interviews, both recorded on a digital device, transcribed in full and submitted to Foucault's discourse analysis using the Nvivo 12 software. The results indicate different possibilities to produce educational practices aligned with gender equity, relying on the engagement of the institution, curriculum reformulation, the didactics of the teacher trainers and the performance of the future teachers as devices to build a knowledge that is committed to gender equity in the classroom. Also, students enunciate weaknesses in training to produce actions that promote gender equality in their future professional activities, a scenario that reaffirms the need for teacher training to reframe their educational practices, methodologies and knowledge in order to question the sports canons and design a Physical Education course that considers the multiple experiences and enhances the learning of everyone.
