PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN FUNDAMENTAL EDUCATION: the distance from classes in the students' perception

Physical Education; Elementary School; Clearance; Participatory Planning.

The participation of students in body practices experienced in Physical Education classes is significantly reduced 

throughout Basic Education, especially in the final years of elementary school and in high school. 

This withdrawal becomes more evident as they progress in their studies and there are several factors responsible 

for the students' refusal to participate in the corporal practices provided for the classes. The aim of this study 

was to identify the impact of participatory planning as a tool to encourage students in the corporal practices 

experienced for physical education classes. The study was carried out using qualitative methodology, 

through exploratory research and action research, in a school in the State Education Network of Rio Grande do Norte, 

with a population of 25 students regularly enrolled in Elementary School, in the 9th year A, morning shift at 

Dr. Sílvio Bezerra de Melo State School, in Currais Novos. The instruments used to collect the experiences were: 

questionnaire, interview, field diary and observation, and the reported experiences were analyzed through descriptive 

analysis. The research, registered at Plataforma Brasil under number 15865919.0.0000.5537, was approved by 

the Ethics Committee with approval number 3,474,756 dated July 29, 2019. The results indicate that participatory 

planning is a very efficient tool to overcome the departure from body practices experienced in Physical Education 

classes, especially in the division of responsibility between teacher and students for the success of classes, in the 

motivation and interest of students for participation in the classes and in the motivation of the teacher with the 

classes due to the change in student behavior.
