Educação física, desenvolvimento e inovação: o argumento da hélice tríplice

Abstract

This study analyzes the data on the Science and Technology Ministry of Brazil's Portal for Innovation. The aim is to understand the process of the physical education innovation. We use the argument triple helix as theoretical framework to evaluate the synergy between university-industry-government in the physical education's field of research. The methodology was guided by the literature and document's research. The results allow us to infer that the area of physical education research is typically multidisciplinary. There is a significant number of researchers and research groups, however, there are no related industries. The non-participation of the industries indicates that physical education is far from the productive sector, which highlights the today's inability to raise funds for the survey of this sector, and involve it in schemes that enable innovation and development projects from research activities.
