CAPOEIRA'S CONTRIBUTION TO ETHNIC, CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL ISSUES

Abstract

"In Brazil, Capoeira is present in the country's history, culture, education and in the schooling process. Today, it is part of the national heritage, integrates the formal Physical Education curriculum of the public network of the State of São Paulo (CEF-SP), of private schools, is an extracurricular activity in several schools and is present at the university as a content of Physical Education courses. School Physical Education was conceived in the treatment of culture related to bodily aspects that manifest themselves in different ways: games and games, gymnastics, dances, sports and fights. In this way, Capoeira was listed as the content of Physical Education classes, acquiring new pedagogical contours and methodological treatments. Thus, this proposal aims to work strategies for dealing with different contents that make up the universe of Capoeira as a content of school Physical Education. In the didactic part, strategies, methods and styles of teaching, playful characteristics, as well as the posture in the teaching process will be addressed. In this sense, we had as a starting point the understanding of Capoeira based on commonly discussed topics, which allowed us to establish the following axes of work: Historicity, Specific Movement, Musicality, Play, Body Language. Once the axes of work were determined, we experienced the organization and systematization of these contents, based on activities and teaching dynamics. Thus, it is expected to promote strategies that make possible the treatment of Capoeira as a content of school Physical Education in the international scenario, thus configuring a rich pedagogical process, based on a plural and liberating education."
