O mundo do trabalho e a educação física: a formação em questão

Abstract

The field of work in Physical Education is currently divided into two worlds: school and non-school. This division reflects not only the need for different types of formation demanded by the two different fields, but also the changes that the work/worker in the field suffers during the present phase of changes in their forms of organization. As a result, there has also been a division in the classification of the workers: those with a Licentiate (for schools) and non-school Physical Education graduates. Although they both have distinctive curricula and training, they follow the same paradigm in teacher formation centered on the acquisition of skills. Thus, the text set out to examine the issue of formation in the context of this fragmented scenario of the field by identifying in recent research what is the central concern of researchers when dealing with the theme of physical education teacher formation. It tried to report on how the productive restructuring process has influenced the classification of the world of work in the field. So as a result of our analysis, we propose to salvage the idea of a broad education for a single world of work, having the work itself as an educational principle of formation in Physical Education in order to overcome possible tensions between the workplace and Physical Education in the process of training and intervention of its teachers.
