Práticas e desafios da docência em educação física: um estudo sobre as metodologias do ensino nas escolas da zona urbana do município de Passagem Franca/MA

Abstract

Physical Education teaching faces challenges that directly impact the teaching and learning processes of students. In this sense, this study focused on investigating the practices and challenges faced by Physical Education teachers in schools in the Urban Zone of the Municipality of Passagem Franca/MA, with an emphasis on the analysis of the teaching methodologies used. Considering the importance of student engagement and the achievement of educational objectives, the general objective is to assess the impact of Physical Education teaching methodologies on the teaching and learning processes of teachers in schools in the Urban Zone of the municipal network of Passagem Franca/MA. To achieve this objective, the research employs a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Using a cross-sectional design, data collection is carried out through questionnaires distributed among Physical Education teachers in the region. The choice of the non-probabilistic sample is justified by the need to focus specifically on the Urban Zone, excluding teachers from the Rural Zone due to logistical issues and contextual differences. The results showed that the most used methodology is demonstration (75%), influenced mainly by the availability of material resources. The lack of adequate infrastructure was identified as the biggest challenge. Most teachers (75%) believe that the methodology impacts student participation, but engagement was rated as average. Furthermore, 100% of teachers did not participate in training in the last two years. The study concludes that teaching methodology is affected by the lack of resources and training, highlighting the need for investments in infrastructure and teacher training
