SCHOLASTIC ARCHITECTURE AND THE TEACHING OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION: RELATIONS (IM)POSSIBLE

Abstract

This study aimed to understand how the physical spaces of the school are appropriate for teachers of Physical Education (EF) classes 5th to 8th grades of elementary school. The survey was conducted in a school in the State Schools of Porto Alegre/RS, 4 teachers of PE. This is an educational ethnography and the main instruments used were participant observation, field diary, interview and document analysis. We realize that teachers of PE associate many of the limitations of their work to teaching (in)existence of spaces and materials for this field. Furthermore, we observed significant relationships between: the organizations and the appropriation of local and/or equipment for teachers with pedagogical practice in EF.
