Práticas corporais alternativas e a formação dos professores de educação física da Eseffego

Abstract

This work is inserted in the context of Alternative Body Practices such as Yoga, Tai Chi Chuan, Reiki and meditation; sought to understand how they develop in the Physical Education course. Interest arose from participation as a scientific initiation student in an already completed research on health policies sport and leisure in the city of Goiânia and to note that possibly the academic community and Physical Education professionals in the city of Goiânia do not develop interventions frequently in the field of these practices, taking into account their absence in the spaces in which PCA’s occur. In this way, our general objective was to identify how PCA’s are included in the Physical Education course graduation; and as specific objectives: identify which parameter students in the area use to choose their intended professional field of activity; investigate whether the course provides knowledge about PCAs in its curricular matrix and activities offered at the university; and understand how the ESEFFEGO takes advantage of this possible area of ​​professional intervention. The route methodological approach was based on an approach to the historical materialist paradigm dialectic with a qualitative approach, including going to the field to dialogue with subjects that constitute Physical Education academically at ESEFFEGO. By means of application of a semi-open questionnaire with students from the 7th and 8th periods of Physical Education of the State University of Goiás, we found that the campus does not provide intentional and constant experience so that students become familiar with these practices.
