Badminton e mídia-educação(física): uma possibilidade de ensino nas aulas de educação física escolar

Abstract

Badminton is an easily learned sport and its practice offers a variety of benefits, being accessible to practitioners of all skill levels, making it an important choice as content for Physical Education classes. However, the question arises as to why, despite its accessibility and multifaceted benefits, Badminton still receives little attention as content for Physical Education classes. This research aimed to develop, apply, and evaluate a didactic unit for teaching badminton articulated with the principles of media education for Physical Education classes, with methodological assumptions guided by a qualitative approach based on action research principles. The research was divided into two stages, the first stage consisted of conducting a diagnosis with Physical Education teachers about the main difficulties they face in developing badminton allied with media education principles as content, and based on this diagnosis, in the second stage, we sought to develop, apply, and evaluate the didactic unit. From the data analysis in the first stage, it was observed that there is a need for training for teachers regarding both badminton and media education principles. In the second stage, an approach through the principles of media education and badminton content proved to be very important, serving as motivation for students and significantly increasing their knowledge about badminton. The development of this research resulted in the elaboration of an e-book as an educational product, composed of 16 lessons for the development of badminton articulated with media education principles, and also an Instagram page aimed at promoting badminton as content for Physical Education classes.
