Os desafios teórico-metodológicos da investigação etnográfica em um curso de educação física

Abstract

The present article seeks to describe the trajectory of theoretical methodological decisions and the challenges regarding the use of ethnography in a study on the daily curricular experience of a Physical Education school. It is important to highlight the process that involved the procedures to carry out the study; the implications of the choice of ethnography as a methodological theoretical reference; the initiation to ethnography; and the process of field research resulting from monitoring the curricular routine for a whole school year. It finds that ethnography enhances the understanding of the curriculum as a social construction.
