Educação física em escolas públicas estaduais do município de Feira de Santana - Ba

Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the differences and similarities between the urban and rural Physical Education classes of State schools of Feira de Santana, Bahia. It is a qualitative study, which was used a semi-structured interview to identify the differences and similarities in the pedagogical practice of the teachers (MINAYO, 2005). It was chosen as the method of content analysis (BARDIN, 1977). A survey of this nature raises many questions among them, including the understanding of the Physical Education teacher as facilitator of the process used in their classes to promote student´s social development; as well the profile of the teachers. The rural physical education classes, does not take in consideration the student´s reality, resulting the transposition of urban classes.
