A Educação Física Escolar nas APAEs Paranaenses: Diálogos, desafios e perspectivas.

Abstract

This thesis has as its object of research the perception of Physical Education teachers about the professional intervention of Physical Education in the Associations of Parents and Friends of the Exceptional (APAEs) in the state of Paraná. The research is qualitative (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 2012) and has the following problem: How is professional intervention in Physical Education effective in APAEs in the state of Paraná? The research aims to analyze the professional intervention in Physical Education in APAEs of Paraná, based on dialogues with the teachers of the discipline. The theoretical framework that underlies the research was substantiated by studies by Betti (1996; 2005) on a theory of practice in the field of Physical Education. The research was carried out in APAEs in the state of Paraná, with 322 Physical Education teachers as subjects, reaching 30 councils in the state of Paraná. In the research, the conversation circle was used as a data collection procedure (MOURA; LIMA. 2014). To organize the data, we used the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin (2010). The results show that when talking about theory in Physical Education, teachers reported that currently the material used is not linked to the school reality, that in practical classes there is difficulty in working with all students at the same time, due to the different deficiencies that are in the classes and that the teachers need assistants in the classes to be able to carry out quality work. Regarding the evaluation, it was highlighted that there is no evaluation that meets the specificities of the students, and in relation to the documentation, it was evidenced that the teachers fill in many forms, and this time uses a large part of the teacher's work. It was concluded that Physical Education in Special Education needs a reformulation, with dialogue between teachers working in APAEs and changes in the methodology of classes. The re-signification of APAEs can also contribute to improving the educational service offered to all students by the Paraná state network.
