A pedagogia do esporte na educação física no contexto de uma escola eficaz

Abstract

The article analyses the project of Physical Education developed in a successful public school. The research was developed using the observant participation method. For the data collection we used field notes and ethnographic observation. The collected information allow us to infer that: the development of physical education is associated with institutional mechanisms that help the formation of school climate; on the other hand, physical education also plays a role in shaping this school climate; the role of leadership is reflected in how the school is structured; and the idea of terminality constructed by the engagement of the school in sport competition can contribute in the construction of shared goals.
