Dança popular como conteúdo da disciplina Educação Física em escolas da rede pública de ensino de João Pessoa – PB

Abstract

We know that Physical Education has body culture as a study tool, and popular dance has its body language inserted in the beliefs, values and struggles of social groups, bringing popular dance as a curriculum in our schools brings us the challenge of presenting a critical reading of the reality where these dances will once be inserted. The practice of popular dance is seldom present in school life, as teachers still feel many restrictions in the application of this content. In this perspective, the present study seeks to analyze the application of popular dance content in Physical Education classes in state public schools in the city of João Pessoa / PB. The present study is classified as a qualitative research of a descriptive type, with a cross-section and analyzed through discourse analysis. The subjects of the present study correspond to 18 physical education teachers of both sexes from public schools in the city of João Pessoa / PB.
