Teacher education programs for city and country physical education teachers

Abstract

This text argues that an education program for physical education teachers should be built on five sources of information: 1. The demands presented by public school, social movements and other entities related to sports and leisure activities in the city and in the country; 2. An assessment of the facilities available for the offering of physical education courses; 3. A critical evaluation of the literature produced on the theme; 4. The discussion of available projects in the definition of guidelines for teacher education programs for physical education teachers and in the creation of the CREFE/CONFEF System and in the approval of professional regulations; 5. Proposals for the restructuring of the teacher education program syllabus for physical education teachers as proposed by the LEPEL/FACED/UFBA Group. KEYWORDS: teacher education – course syllabus –pedagogical work
