Educação Física Escolar: as contribuições de um jogo de tabuleiro na compreensão de estudantes do Ensino Médio sobre a componente

Abstract

This research investigates how the application of a board game can reshape high school students' understanding of Physical Education. The qualitative study was conducted in three stages: 1. Pre-intervention questionnaire application 2. Board game application and 3. Postintervention questionnaire application. The stages were carried out with two classes of firstyear high school students from a full-time high school in Fortaleza, Ceará. In the first stage, students' knowledge regarding the previous series was verified. For the second stage, the author developed and implemented the board game called "Chão da Quadra" with the students, which aims to present various situations within the 8 dimensions of knowledge, relating them to three major areas of content dimensions related to Physical Education. In the third stage, students' perceptions regarding the educational resource and how it can help for a better understanding of the curricular component were verified, in addition to comparing some data regarding the pre-intervention questionnaire. The data collected in the questionnaires were reviewed, organized, and classified using the thematic analysis technique. The results indicated that students entered high school with a misaligned view of the curricular component, mainly linking it to sports practice. Furthermore, after the game, students mentioned other body practices, reducing the focus on sports as Physical Education content. It is concluded that the game contributed, in a playful way, to a better understanding of Physical Education by the students, highlighting the importance of their appropriation of the dimensions of knowledge.
