KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TEACHER PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

The objective was to investigate the production of knowledge about the Professional Identity of Physical Education (PE) teachers. An integrative review was carried out in the databases between 2015 and 2021, where we obtained twenty articles: eleven national and nine international. We verified that the professional identity is built in temporality and in the spaces of life to better understand the multiple possible identities found in the professional trajectory. Although experiences prior to initial training have been considered, it was possible to observe that in initial training, professional identity is established especially with the deepening of experiences in internships. In addition, the consolidation of this identity process remains in the professional field, individually and collectively, from entry into the career and continuing education, however, it is an unfinished and constantly changing process.
