Memórias das práticas escolares de educação física no curso de magistério do Instituto de Educação Assis Brasil (Pelotas/RS, década de 1970)

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to investigate the memories of students and teachers about the school practices of Physical Education at Instituto de Educação Assis Brasil (Pelotas / RS) in the 1970s, the height of political repression promoted by the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship. For this, we use the dialogue with the historiography of the History of Education and some of its adjacent themes, such as History of institutions, normalists, political and educational specificities of the period, Physical Education teaching, Oral History methodology and theoretical reflections on memory. With regard to the sources for the research, we use narratives of students and teachers, written documents (class diaries and school regiment) and photographs belonging to the institution. The analysis of school bookkeeping and narratives show that the practices proposed and developed in the discipline of Physical Education gained evidence in the 1970s, especially because they focused on sportivization, civility and discipline, elements so important to the educational and political understandings of the time. The teacher training, in its curricular and didactic character, was permeated by Physical Education classes in which the practices - sometimes seen as disciplinary, sometimes as authoritarian ones - gained traces of sportive and military.
