CAPOEIRA IN SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND THE STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE: THINKING A DECOLONIZED CURRICULUM
School Physical Education. Capoeira. Student Knowledge.
A corporal practice that has a connection with the black African population, capoeira received different statuses until its recognition and acceptance. Entering beyond the scope of culture, in education, due to the action of masters, researchers and teachers, capoeira is found as part of School Physical Education, being supported by laws and curricular documents in the área. However, when it comes to this manifestation or others belonging to African and AfroBrazilian culture, flaws are still identified in the application of the content and its approaches in basic education institutions. In view of this scenario, the study, which is of a qualitative nature, makes use of descriptive and exploratory methods, and which uses a variety of instruments (production of drawings, writings, panels and presentations), aims at understanding the students' views adopted on the capoeira and the relationships with the knowledge established with it, with School Physical Education and with the subjects. Through the results, it was perceptible the urgency to deal with the theme at school in order to allow the presence of Africanities and their identification in the lives of beings, as well as the ethnic-racial issues involved, allowing the construction of decolonial Physical Education curricula where themes and practices belonging to the culture of black people are present and effective.
