“Astral Alignment”: the lecturing stage in the teaching education of licentiates in Physical Education at ESEF/UFRGS

Abstract

This study analyses the lecturing stage in the teaching education process of licentiates in Physical Education at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Based on qualitative research of the case study type, this work aimed at understanding the way through which trainees articulated the “theory” learned in the pedagogic subjects with their teaching “practice” at school. The metaphor of “Astral Alignment”, used by our collaborator to refer to the syllabus organization of the course, allowed us to perceive that the criticism of the group fell on the predominance of a didactic practice which was centered in the “education of seated bodies” as opposed to a didactic practice centered in the “bodies in movement”. KEYWORDS: professional education – lecturing stage – teaching practice
