O ESPORTE NA ESCOLA A PARTIR DO CURRÍCULO DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO

The 1980s represented an important period for teaching and learning Physical Education in schools, especially considering methodological aspects and content covered. It can be recognized that changes in methodologies have instrumentalized the movement's practice, however, without highlighting aspects of a pedagogical or critical nature. In this scenario, sport is characterized as a socio-cultural practice and, in the school environment, the form of teaching must be questioned, distancing itself from the reproduction of stereotypes of high performance and alienated training. Thus, it becomes relevant to analyze the approach to sport in the regular educational context. The objective is to analyze the insertion of sport in Physical Education at School for Elementary and High School from the Curricular Proposal of the State of São Paulo. This is a quantitative and qualitative documentary study. A survey of the proportionality of the distribution of topics related to sport and other content approaches was also used. Initially, the systematic reading of the text of the Curricular Proposal of the State of São Paulo was organized. 68 themes were identified to be addressed from the EF to the EM, from the Teacher's Notebooks. Sports, dances, gymnastics, physical abilities were observed; body, health, beauty among others. Thirty themes and content directly related to sport stood out, representing 44% of the total. Sport is predominant content, despite the recognized advances in relation to previous moments, gaps were identified to subsidize the student's global development. It is suggested to propose studies that assist in the educational actions of the teacher in the area and move towards innovation in sports education at school.
