Abstract

This work had the objective to reveal the challenges and the possibilities faced with hysical Education courses when they are confronted with the curricular reforms, which reflect on the demands of professional training. The alterations of the professional academic training, results of the Resolutions Educacion National Consuel 01 e 02/2002 e 07/2004, provoked discussions and conflicts between the professionals and theoretics of the area that understand a different way in the training of Physical Education.They also provoked a politic-pedagogic redirection of the professional training curricles that are still in the phase of adjustment in some institutions. The study reveals a complex network that involves the professional training in Physical Education in the Brazilian scenario, and the necessity to lengthen the discussions between professionals and education institutions.The main focus of this research was the study of curricular changes of two Physical Education courses, both related with this researcher s academic and professional background. Both are located in the southern region in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. One is a public institution and the other is a collective. The purpose of this investigation is to analyze these curricles; to identify the coordinators and teachers views and knowledge of the curricular reform of these Physical Education courses; and to show the impact of these reforms on the professional and academic training. For that we used a qualitative way of research. The methodological choices were defined in two bases of investigation: one was a documental analysis of the pedagogic projects in the courses and the other was partially structured interviews with the coordinators and teachers of the IES (Institutions of Superior Educations).From the data found we analyzed its contents with a defined category. As a result, we considered that the curricular reforms implemented by these courses are in the adaptation phase and that deep ruptures need time to be absorbed and need to be elaborated by the society.
