Implicações sociais da formação profissional do bacharelado em Educação Física sobre a compreensão de corpo, estética e educação

Abstract

With the fragmentation of the physical education course in full and baccalaureate degrees, the critical theories, fundamental to the formation as a whole, became more closely related to the full degree, making the baccalaureate a course more focused on the biological area, forming physical education teachers, apparently, to meet only the longings of capital. Given this fact, the baccalaureate tends to disregard the formation of the physical education teacher in its entirety, because it is necessary to know the body beyond the biological aspects. Thus, this study adopts the method of historical-dialectical materialism in reference to marxist theory, with the objective of body discussing from its ontological conditions, in order to understand today its condition as a merchandise and to be inset to standards considered as “beautiful”, leading to “aesthetics” that essentially corresponds to the philosophy of the beautiful to metamorphose also in merchandise and to be propagated as “corporal aesthetics”, whose intention has been to meet the needs of the production mode, leading this study to retake to the philosophy of the beautiful, and then to relate all this historical-philosophical context with the reality of physical education and its importance as an instrument of education and element of emancipation of the social being. Finally, this study performs an empirical research with graduanting students of the baccalaureate in physical education of two universities, one non-public and one public, with the intention of investigating the understanding of these future teachers of physical education the social determinations on body, aesthetics and education, in which it demonstrated that there was a biological qualification and focused on meeting the current order.
