TEACHING PRACTICE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT RURAL COMMUNITY SCHOOLS IN THE AMAZON REGION: WHERE IS THE BODY?
Body. Corporeality. Teaching practice. School Physical Education. Teachers.
Corporeality is an existential condition of human beings and leads us to discuss the relevance of their approach in teaching practice. The research aims to understand, through the discourse of Physical Education teachers in the Amazon region, the presence of the body / corporeity approach in teaching practice. Nóbrega's discussions (2010); Morin (2011), Gonçalves (1994), Santin (1987), Couto (2008; 2017; 2020), Franco (2005; 2016), among others, gave theoretical support, about corporeality, education, physical education and teaching practice. This research intends to make an intentional sample with the participation of 15 teachers graduated in Physical Education who work in schools in the rural area of Santarém-Pa. The adopted methodology involves the bibliographic review of the scientific production on the theme body / corporeity in the database of the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and field research using generating questions for data collection. The generating questions are intended to prevent monosyllabic responses and ask the research participant for their perceptions regarding the investigated phenomenon. For the analysis, the Technique of Elaboration and Analysis of Units of Meanings, developed by Moreira, Simões and Porto (2005) will be used. Corporeality as a premise in teaching practice is still not usual, as there are still mechanized and castrating practices that connote the body with the instrumental and utilitarian sense in a dichotomous view of valuing the mind. On the other hand, it is advocated that the approach to corporeality be stimulated in teaching practice, understanding the body in its entirety, as a living presence in the world and inseparable from it.
