This survey aimed at identifying the way students perceive physical education (PE) classes in the context of integrated technical and high school courses. The survey made use of a qualitative approach. It sampled 74 students, aged between 14 and 17 years old, being 28 males and 46 females, who were enrolled in the first period of the course and who studied in the afternoon but had PE classes in the morning. Based on the data collected, one can say that Physical Education presents a quite controversial panorama. Those who admire and like the discipline defend it rather radically, while others do not consider it as an important discipline for the student’s development. It seems clear that PE is still disregarded as a discipline that contributes to the students’ integral development. Key words: Physical Education; Integral Development; Physical Activity.
Esta investigação teve como objetivo principal buscar desvelar a percepção que os alunos têm sobre as aulas de Educação Física (EF) em uma escola de ensino médio/técnico. Nesta pesquisa descritiva utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa e a amostra foi constituída de 74 alunos, com idades variando entre 14 e 17 anos, sendo 28 do sexo masculino e 46 do sexo feminino, estando todos matriculados no 1º período, no turno da tarde e participando das aulas de educação física no chamado contra turno, isto é, no turno da manhã. Diante de todos os dados levantados pode-se presumir que a EF continua apresentando um quadro suavemente distinto. Ou seja, algumas posições radicais por parte daqueles que a admiram e, por outro lado, outras posições contrárias por parte daqueles que não a veem como disciplina importante na formação do aluno. Parece claro que a EF continua não tendo uma boa aceitação como disciplina capaz de contribuir para a formação integral do aluno.AbstractThis survey aimed at identifying the way students perceive physical education (PE) classes in the context of integrated technical and high school courses.
