Abstract

The school, through its pedagogical tactics, is able to contribute in the reproduction and transformation of the society s economic and social relations. So, it s questionable how the scholar Physical Education gets inserted in our social reality. Is it just a subject responsible for physical training, without any intention to contribute for the citizen formation of the student? The Objective of this work is to identify the predominant pedagogical trend in the Physical Education classes in federal, vocational and technical education Institutions in Rio Grande do Sul, and verify if these institutions are fulfilling their role form the work done in this subject. Therefore, it s discussed what the mission of these institutions in Agricultural education is, how their institutions are organized and, also, it s shown a historic of the Physical Education subject and how it s configured nowadays. The Work is a rescue of the current scenario of the Physical Education and Agricultural Education in Brazil, and their respective curricular guidelines in the current Legislation as well. Furthermore, it s shown a vision of the Pedagogical Tendencies (Traditional, Non-Directive, Progressist and Technicist) and the Progressive Pedagogical Tendencies (Liberating, Libertarian, and Critical-Social Content), by José Carlos Libâneo. This research was performed at the Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de São Vicente do Sul - CEFETSVS, Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica de Bento Gonçalves - CEFETBG and the Escola Agrotécnica Federal de Alegrete - EAFA, with high school students, concomitant with the agricultural, technical education, in the academic year of 2008. It also relied on the collaboration of theses institution s Physical Education Teachers. It was also researched the function of the school, the to teach contents, the methods of teaching, the teacher-student relationship, the conditions for learning, the importance of Physical Education and its contribution to the Agricultural teaching. The methodology used was of application of questionnaires with both close and open questions. It was concluded that the Pedagogic tendencies aren t shown in their pure and exclusive form, but search in the pedagogical forms of several tendencies support to their application. It s verified that the predominant pedagogical trend in the Physical Education Classes is the Liberal Technicist, reflex of the school s function in the technical Agricultural teaching. From these reflexes, it s proposed the Pedagogical, Progressist, Critical-Social Tendency of the Contents as the trend which may contribute in a more effective way with the teaching related to the formation of a critical, autonomous and conscientious of his acts individual. This way, it s possible that the students have access to any cultural manifestation which helps its development as a whole, mainly at the Physical Education subject in federal, vocational and technical education Institutions that work with Agricultural education.
