FAMILIARITY AND STRANGENESS: THE ETHNOGRAPHIC METHOD IN THE INITIAL TRAINING OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

FAMILIARIDADE E ESTRANHAMENTO: O MÉTODO ETNOGRÁFICO NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE ESTUDANTES DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

ABSTRACT

If we want - as the current didactic discussion requires - to further consolidate the figures of didactic thought from the “Post-Renewal Movement”1 era, which manifest themselves in a didactic, critical-emancipatory concept open to experience, then we need to consider how future Physical Education teachers can be qualified to this end. This is not an easy process, as Physical Education students begin their studies with a concept that is familiar to them, the concept of sport. This sporting concept is characterized by an “enclosure” of content, of methodology, and an institutional “enclosure”. This essay presents a teaching strategy on how future Physical Education teachers can be encouraged to “open themselves” to new ways of thinking as part of their studies. An ethnographic approach is proposed, in which the aim is to learn to question the “familiar”, the “self-evident”. “Strangeness” methods are suitable for this purpose. We present 5 steps that can lead students to learn to distance themselves from the “familiar”, the biographically incorporated sporting concept. We understand that only when this distancing is successful, according to the hypothesis, will students be able to structure didactic ideas from the “Post-Renewal Movement” era, and plan and implement physical education classes open to experience.
