Educational sport public policy: Implementation of the Segundo Tempo University Program at the UFMS

Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the agreement of the implementation of the SegundoTempo University Program (STUP) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) in Brazil. It was a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with the teacher and sports monitors who worked in the program.The analysis of the interviews was carried out through the Iramuteq Program and, in a complementary way, the analysis of documents from the STUP was used.The main results indicate that there was a dissociation between the initial planning (national guidelines) and the implementation of the STUP at UFMS.The researched agreement suffered from delays in structuring due to bureaucratization and constant stoppages due to the holding of a scientific congress, which interdicted all UFMS sports equipment for a month.The COVID-19 pandemic also paralyzed the program for five months. It is concluded that the STUP partially followed the national guidelines and bumped into bureaucratic limitations in structuring and systematizing the data, as it was not aligned with the academic events of the institution and was unable to finish the initial plan as planned.
