A mídia-educação nas aulas de educação física: uma abordagem prática na formação continuada de professores no ensino do atletismo

Abstract

The media are increasingly present in people's lives; however, schools have not yet fully adapted to this reality. It is essential that media education be incorporated into the school environment in order to offer students a holistic education aligned with the society in which we live. This research started from the premise that media education has the potential to improve the pedagogical quality of Physical Education classes, especially in the teaching of Athletics. The objective was to develop, implement, and evaluate a continuing education course aimed at Physical Education teachers in the final years of Elementary School and in High School, focused on the teaching of Athletics and grounded in the principles of media education. The methodology adopted was educational action research with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques included questionnaires in the first stage, field journals in the second stage, video recordings of the training meetings, and an evaluative questionnaire after the intervention. The justification for this research was based on the need for continuing education so that teachers can understand media education as an ally in the teaching-learning process. As a result of this training, a website was collaboratively created with the teachers, along with a didactic sequence and a game to support the teaching and learning of Athletics in Physical Education classes.
