Abstract

In places where physical activities are practiced, smartphones are widely used as a resource for producing images, either to film or photograph the activity carried out. So, this images can take many purposes like analysis of exercises performed, exposure in social networks, among others. In the case of the practice of circus aerial acrobatics, this use is very frequent, mainly because it is an artistic manifestation where the appreciation of the aesthetics to be transmitted is considerably important. Faced with this range of purposes that captured images may have, this research aimed to analyze how image resources can be used as teaching-learning tools by practitioners of circus aerial acrobatics. Thus, a semi-structured interview script will be used, seeking to cover a sample of 30 adult students of aerial acrobatics from the Ponto Triple Centro Cultural school, located in the municipality of João Pessoa, Paraíba, who use image resources, such as smartphones, in their classes. to record their practice. The interviews were carried out in the school place, before or after the class. Data analysis was performed according to Bardin's content analysis. As a conclusion, we obtained that image resources are already widely used by aerial acrobatics practitioners as tools that allow them to self-correct and archive the content seen in classes, as well as being mentioned as motivating factors for being able to create records of the evolution of the students and raise their self-esteem.
