O perfil dos professores de Educação Física da rede Municipal de João Pessoa no Ensino Fundamental.

Abstract

The research seeks to analyze the profile of physical education (PE) teachers from the local schools of the city of João Pessoa in the Elementary School. This is a descriptive survey with quantitative and qualitative approach. The scope of the research involves the teachers of Physical Education who work in the Elementary School in the nine aggregations. The sample comprises teachers of Physical Education (PE) from the local schools at the daytime shift. For the survey we used questionnaire as the instrument of data collection. The questionnaire is structured with open and closed questions and has two parts: profile of the teacher and physical education (PE) at school. There is a majority of females, 53.85%, which also shows a percentage of younger women in the aged group between 20-29 years old, explicitly 17.94%. As to the age group, 30.8% are above the age of 50, more than a half being male (23.7%). We draw attention to the labour conditions of the teachers, under which 51.3% are outsourced. It reveals that the teacher does not always know precisely the concept that he or she has been working with and other times he or she works with several concepts, without even realizing it, but trying to prepare meaningful lessons for students. The teachers perceive the relevance of the laws, the projects and programs, and try to establish a bridge between theory and in-class practice. Teachers from the local schools of the city of João Pessoa seek in their in-class practice to promote experiences that contribute for the formation of the student-citizen.
