IMPLEMENTING A DIDACTIC MODEL FOR TEACHING ATHLETICS IN SCHOOL

Abstract

The present qualitative research evaluated the implementation of a model for teaching athletics called the Systemic Ecological Model for Teaching Athletics (SEMA). Three Physical Education teachers and 26 students from public and private institutions attending the 2nd and 7th grades of elementary school participated in the research. For data collection, semi-structured interviews, reports, and questionnaires were used. The results and analysis, structured in an inductive perspective, were arranged in two moments, namely: a) coding based on the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DCS) and b) exposure of the results in figures and statistical analysis. The challenges for the experience of the athletics content in times of remote classes, the adequacy of the model to the school identity and curriculum, the indispensability of the space provided in the model for reflections on the epistemology of the teaching practice and, furthermore, its potential for the achievement of the learning objectives stipulated by the teachers were evidenced, supported by the statistical significance of the data produced by the students.
