EDUCATION AND THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR AWARENESS OFBODY PRACTICES AND ADOPTION OF AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE BY HIGH SCHOOLSTUDENTS

Abstract

School physical education includes different body practices in its teaching structure. Thesepractices must be developed throughout basic education in a meaningful way, respecting theboundaries and social and cultural values of individuals. Despite its importance as a curricularcomponent, many students, especially in high school, do not take the practical part of thesubject, which is a challenge for teachers. In this sense, an alternative that is relevant is the useof digital technologies as a complementary tool to the practical classes of the discipline, so thateven those students who are unable to attend classes due to work can be contemplated. Thus,this article aims to discuss the awareness of body practices and the adoption of an activelifestyle, in the context of physical education, through digital technologies, for high schoolstudents. It is believed that broadening discussions and educational practices in a moreinteractive and conscious way tends to contribute to teaching and learning in a significant wayand motivate students to adhere to activities in their daily lives.
