School Physical Education - Inclusion - Continuing Education
Physical education as a curricular component school has been discussed in the continuing education of physical education teachers in the municipal Christmas city, focusing on the principles of inclusion, since 2014. However, while the subject takes an important place in these meetings is further described as a challenge for many teachers, appearing in annual assessments as a theme suggestion for subsequent years In an attempt to understand what are the most urgent demands of this group, this paper aims to analyze the perceptions of inclusion of physical education teachers who attended, in 2018, the continuing education offered by the referred education network. We used as descriptive method the descriptive research, with qualitative approach from the application of a questionnaire that pointed looks, knowledge, ideas, impressions, difficulties and possibilities of inclusive school physical education. We realize that is a challenge for teachers to conceptually understand the specifics of physical education against the inclusion, as well as developing methodological strategies that meet multiple bodies and their needs front to the problems posed by inclusive process also found in thematic units. We understand, therefore, that this research enables a deeper knowledge about the inclusive physical education present in the public school system of Natal, offering subsidies to think about a continuous formation more aligned with the real needs of the teachers. It is understood that physical education as an integral part of the pedagogical political project of schools needs to be clear of its specificities, and can collaborate using the culture of movement to promote the practice of inclusion of all students. Thus, we argue that it is not possible to wait for changes in the pedagogical conceptions of teachers without identifying, discussing and rethinking aspects that hinder or prevent advances in their pedagogical practice.
