Physical Education Teacher Formation Permeate for Technology of Information and Comunication in Centro de Educação Física e Desportos da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to take the education program for Physical Education teachers at UFSM university’s Center for Physical Education and Sports (CPES) and analyze how it is permeated by information and communication technologies – ICTs. Based on the theoretical analysis of ICT concepts and characteristics, the teacher education program, the political-pedagogical plan for the physical education course at CPES/UFSM, and interviews, we have verifi ed that ICTs are redefi ning current forms of space and time. In this sense, they transform the social representations for work and the way qualifications are conceived and constructed. This reality requires a “new” attitude from the teacher, better qualified people and problematizing infrastructure and methodologies. KEYWORDS: Physical Education – teacher education – Information and Communication Technologies.
