PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN HIGH SCHOOL AND STANDARDIZED EXAMINATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE ENEM QUESTIONS

Abstract

The article analyzes the new Enem questions that contain Physical Education knowledge objects, understanding the relationships established by and between knowledge areas mediated by competences and abilities. Being qualitative in nature, it employs document-critical analysis as its methodology. Sources include: 49 questions related to Physical Education in the examination (2009 to 2017), the National Guidelines for Secondary Education, the Basic Enem Document, and the Enem Reference Matrix. Uses and appropriations of Physical Education contents, due to their multidisciplinary nature, favors examination’s questions focused on interdisciplinarity by and between knowledge areas, exploring subjects’ daily relationships. Interaction between the objectives of the “Languages and their Technologies” area, promoted by the examination, allows us to understand Physical Education within a broad context of training, in addition to domain knowledge.
