FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DE PROFESSORES DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: AÇÕES PEDAGÓGICAS DA DIRETORIA REGIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO DE ILHÉUS

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze pedagogical actions for school Physical Education qualification documented by the Regional Education Board [Diretoria Regional de Educação] - DIREC 06, Ilhéus (Bahia) -, from 2008 to 2011, namely pedagogical meetings, continuing education courses and school games. The descriptive study comprehended analysis of DIREC 06’ legal documents on educational and sports policies, including continuing education reports, pedagogical meetings and the School Games of Bahia’s Public Network. The documental sources were analyzed by the content analysis technique. There is evidence that pedagogical actions helped pedagogical coordinators to promote the development of the area by means of the School Games, decentralization of resources for acquisition of didactical sports material, distribution of book kits related to the field, and conduction of regular meetings. In addition to providing teachers with the opportunity to analyze their pedagogical practice, the search for new pieces of knowledge and the improvement of teaching quality enabled the perception of deficits in relation to training, to professional devaluation issues and to training needs. Teacher qualification through the actions developed comprised the expansion of theoretical repertoire, diversification of contents, as well as engagement of the state school community with sports, a representative social phenomenon in the Brazilian reality.
