Dissertação (Mestrado em Educação Física em Rede) - Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2020.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/tede/handle/tede/10750When understanding sport for educational purposes, it is necessary to give space to the importance of competition in this process, as it is present in the daily activities of contemporary man and is a component of human life and which certainly attributes the expected pedagogical character to it positive results can be achieved in the training of students. In this sense, school sports events must be aligned with the school's pedagogical actions and, for this, be organized in order to meet educational demands. The general objective of this study was to analyze the Games Escolares do Tocantins, in the category of 12 to 14 years old in the futsal modality, to check if the proposed rules are in accordance with the pedagogical assumptions of the school's sport teaching. Among the specific objectives we seek to indicate a competitive proposal with the adaptations identified by the teachers and in the literature on the theme, which meet the pedagogical needs of the student's education in the 12 to 14 age group. This is a documentary and field research, of a qualitative nature, descriptive, exploratory and purposeful. This proposal was built on the basis of interviews with teachers from the state of Tocantins, who participated in the state stage of JET’s, in the year 2019, in the futsal modality and which provided elements for proposing a pilot competition. We identified that the Tocantins School Games lack some adjustments in the referred modality and category, as they touch the bureaucratic aspects, as well as the rules and regulations to meet the pedagogical assumptions of the sport. As a product, a guide was generated in which sports managers in the education area and Physical Education teachers who work with school teams can use it to base school sports championships, in order to meet the pedagogical possibilities of this event.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilJogos escolaresFutsalAdaptações das regrasEsporte educacionalSchool gamesFutsalAdaptations of the rulesEducational sportCIENCIAS DA SAUDE::EDUCACAO FISICADissertação
