School Physical Education, New High School, Participatory Planning
The New High School guidelines introduce changes in school physical education. It is imperative to readjust the methodology of the class and especially in the planning, as we have to consolidate our place in the school. The construction of a unified and participatory planning was our proposal to face this challenge. The research is qualitative in nature, a case study that aimed to: investigate the importance of participatory planning in the curricular construction of physical education in the New High School? In addition to analyzing the construction of a thematic unit for the Berilo Wanderley State School; identify the importance of physical education classes for students; to investigate the feasibility of participatory planning in the construction of the physical education curriculum in the New High School. The population consisted of 120 high school students, from the 1st and 2nd year classes, and the team of teachers from the Berilo Wanderley State School in the year 2022. To obtain the results, a questionnaire and meetings were chosen for the students, where participatory planning was carried out, while for teachers semi-structured interviews and planning meetings were carried out. The feedback from the questionnaires validated the participatory planning by both students and teachers. At the end of the interventions, we concluded that it is a strategy that provides many benefits when implemented at school: improved adherence to classes, reduced dropout rates and greater interest in classes were important points obtained after the process.
