Keywords: football; school physical education; critical-emancipatory conception.
The present work addressed football as its theme, with the general objective – to develop and evaluate a class proposal (didactic unit) with football content, from the critical-emancipatory conception, in Physical Education classes in high school. And it had the following specific objectives: 1-developing football content in a didactic unit, based on the critical-emancipatory conception, in high school Physical Education classes; 2- to evaluate the football content in a didactic unit, from the critical-emancipatory conception, in Physical Education classes in high school; 3- to point out the limits and possibilities of a didactic unit about soccer, from the critical-emancipatory conception, in Physical Education classes in high school. For that, a participant research was carried out, using the descriptive qualitative method as a methodological option. The students of the 1st year of high school, from Escola Estadual Maria do Rosário Bezerra, located in the municipality of Boa Saúde/RN - Brazil, took part in this research, in the morning period, this class being composed of 35 students regularly enrolled. The instruments for data collection were: the field and instructed diary. In this way, the data were presented based on the analysis and interpretation of the data, as well as discussed with the consulted theoretical reference, to dialogue with the foreign information, so that, in this way, it could identify the limits and possibilities of the proposal with the unit didactics, as well as ways for more studies to emerge and contribute to new works on the subject. With that, through the analysis of the results (evaluative questionnaires – diagnosis and final –, and pedagogical intervention), it was verified in the didactic unit about soccer, from the Critical-Emancipatory Conception, a significant evolution in student learning, whether from the quantitative point of view, whether from the qualitative point of view, giving these senses and meanings.
