CONTINUING EDUCATION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS: PEDAGOGICAL ACTIONS BY THE REGIONAL EDUCATION BOARD OF ILHÉUS

FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA DE PROFESSORES DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: AÇÕES PEDAGÓGICAS DA DIRETORIA REGIONAL DE EDUCAÇÃO DE ILHÉUS

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze pedagogical actions for school Physical Education qualification documented by the Regional Education Board [Diretoria Regional de Educação] - DIREC 06, Ilhéus (Bahia) -, from 2008 to 2011, namely pedagogical meetings, continuing education courses and school games. The descriptive study comprehended analysis of DIREC 06’ legal documents on educational and sports policies, including continuing education reports, pedagogical meetings and the School Games of Bahia’s Public Network. The documental sources were analyzed by the content analysis technique. There is evidence that pedagogical actions helped pedagogical coordinators to promote the development of the area by means of the School Games, decentralization of resources for acquisition of didactical sports material, distribution of book kits related to the field, and conduction of regular meetings. In addition to providing teachers with the opportunity to analyze their pedagogical practice, the search for new pieces of knowledge and the improvement of teaching quality enabled the perception of deficits in relation to training, to professional devaluation issues and to training needs. Teacher qualification through the actions developed comprised the expansion of theoretical repertoire, diversification of contents, as well as engagement of the state school community with sports, a representative social phenomenon in the Brazilian reality.

RESUMO

O estudo teve como objetivo analisar as ações pedagógicas, para a qualificação da Educação Física escolar, documentadas pela Diretoria Regional de Educação - DIREC 06 Ilhéus (Bahia), no período de 2008 a 2011, nomeadamente as reuniões pedagógicas, os cursos de formação continuada e os jogos escolares. O estudo descritivo contemplou a análise de documentos legais da DIREC 06, sobre as políticas educacionais e esportivas, dentre eles relatórios de formação continuada, reuniões pedagógicas e Jogos Escolares da Rede Pública da Bahia. As fontes documentais foram analisadas pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. As evidências indicam que as ações pedagógicas serviram para que os coordenadores pedagógicos pudessem promover o desenvolvimento da área, nomeadamente a realização dos Jogos Escolares, a descentralização de recursos para aquisição de materiais didáticos esportivos, a distribuição de kits de livros da área e a realização de reuniões periódicas. Além de proporcionarem aos professores a oportunidade de analisar a sua prática pedagógica, a busca por novos conhecimentos e a melhoria da qualidade do ensino, viabilizou a percepção das carências em relação à formação, aos problemas de desvalorização profissional e às necessidades formativas. A qualificação docente proveniente das ações desenvolvidas compreendeu a ampliação do repertorio teórico, a diversificação dos conteúdos e o envolvimento da comunidade escolar estadual, movimentada por meio do esporte, fenômeno social representativo na realidade brasileira.

Introduction

Physical Education studies centered on continuing education of teachers seek to comprehend pedagogical practice changes in the course of their career11. Rossi F, Hunger D. As etapas da carreira docente e o processo de formação continuada de professores de Educação Física. Rev Bras Educ Fís Esp 2012;26:323-338. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1807-55092012000200014
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1807-55092012...
, the contribution of continuing education for those teaching students with disabilities22. Cruz GC, Ferreira JR. Processo de formação continuada de professores de educação física em contexto educacional inclusivo. Rev Bras Educ Fís Esp 2005;19:163-180. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/S1807-55092005000200007

, as well as programs and participation in refresher courses33. Mileo TR, Kogut MC. A importância da formação continuada do professor de Educação Física e a influência na prática pedagógica. In: Anais do IX Congresso Nacional de Educação e do III Encontro Sul Brasileiro de Psicopedagogia. Curitiba (PR): EDUCERE; 2009, p. 4943-4952.. Besides, document-based theoretical studies in the dimension of continuing education and the multiculturalism in pedagogical teaching practice44. Gomes J. Formação continuada do professor de Educação Física e a construção de práticas pedagógicas multiculturalmente orientadas. Motri 2008;31:192-206. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2008n31p192

) that outline specific programs in the school55. Alves WF. A formação continuada para os professores de Educação Física no contexto do projeto de aceleração da aprendizagem em Goiás. Inter-Ação: Rev Fac Educ 2003;28:205-217. demarcate different possibilities to investigate Physical Education teachers and the interface with continuing education, considering that educational challenges create a scenario that places the matter of continuing education of teachers directly under investigative spotlights66. Ampudia B, Tilve AMF, Dolores M. What do trade unions think about continuing education for teachers in Galicia? J Educ Sci 2016;11:161-169. DOI https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535
https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535...
.

In this scenario, Asian, European and American countries, including Brazil, have sought to implement policies aimed at improving teacher training77. Geglio PS. Políticas públicas de formação continuada para professores: um estudo de cursos realizados a partir de propostas licitatórias. Ensaio: Aval Pol Públ Educ 2015;23:231-257.. When it comes to Brazil, continuing education has been predominantly taken on by state and municipal education systems, which are in charge of maintaining basic education networks. However, the continental dimension of the country and its distribution in states and cities with political autonomy as to education make these formative policies a hard task88. Barreto ESS. Políticas de formação docente para a Educação Básica no Brasil: embates contemporâneos. Rev Bras Educ 2015;20:679-701. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015206207
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015...
. In this case, continuing education policies are oftentimes instituted and oriented from top to bottom, away from school entities and disregarding the real context of schools, in addition to the needs and interests of teachers99. Anacleto FNA, Ferreira JS, Januário CASS, Santos JH. Continuing education of Physical Education teachers and self-assessment of the teaching domain. Motriz Rev Ed Fis 2017;23:e101770. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-6574201700030028.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-65742017...
.

From this perspective, continuing education for teachers are being implemented at state and municipal education secretariats in order to promote the socialization of teachers. However, different strategies are systematized by education managers, ranging from long-term courses, lectures, lato sensu graduate courses, to study groups among teachers. Lato sensu graduate programs, for instance, have been one of the most recurrent actions when it comes to continuing education for teachers1010. Gatti BA. Análise das políticas públicas para formação continuada no Brasil, na última década. Rev Bras Educ ação 2008;13:2008. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782008000100006.
: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-247820...
. On the other hand, it is worth noting that, in the Brazilian context, education systems focus on objectives related to the school environment or to the didactical and pedagogical dimensions of teaching, in general, providing training activities for specific fields of knowledge, especially in the case of Physical Education99. Anacleto FNA, Ferreira JS, Januário CASS, Santos JH. Continuing education of Physical Education teachers and self-assessment of the teaching domain. Motriz Rev Ed Fis 2017;23:e101770. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-6574201700030028.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-65742017...
.

Considerations about the overcoming of pedagogical and structural problems built up over the years as to the formation of a school Physical Education identity in Brazil1010. Gatti BA. Análise das políticas públicas para formação continuada no Brasil, na última década. Rev Bras Educ ação 2008;13:2008. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782008000100006.
: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-247820...
and, especially, in the state of Bahia, triggered the implementation of proposals to qualify teachers and respective components of school Physical Education. Thus, since 2008, the state’s Education Secretariat has been promoting institutional pedagogical actions by means of Physical Education and Sports coordinations implemented at each Regional Education Board [Diretoria Regional de Educação] (DIREC).

These pedagogical actions have helped pedagogical coordinators from each DIREC to develop the area with the School Games, decentralization of resources for schools to purchase sports didactical material, distribution of book kits about the field to schools, and conduction of regular meetings to discuss Physical Education issues. The overcoming of some pedagogical and structural dilemmas of Physical Education requires the construction and elaboration of institutional actions in line with the longings and goals of education institutions and the school community.

Nonetheless, one should be aware that research around the continuing education of teachers is still incipient, because, despite the broad range of training options, there is still little reliable and verified information that might provide an overview of its possible impact on education improvement66. Ampudia B, Tilve AMF, Dolores M. What do trade unions think about continuing education for teachers in Galicia? J Educ Sci 2016;11:161-169. DOI https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535
https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535...
. Thus, challenges are posed in the research process involving the continuing education of teachers, especially in Physical Education1111. Bonfim ABC, Silva SAPS, Miranda MLJ. A produção do conhecimento sobre a formação continuada de professores de Educação Física: uma análise entre estudos nacionais e internacionais. J Phys Educ 2016;27:e2715. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/jphyseduc.v27i1.2715
http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/jphyseduc.v27...
.Therefore, this article aimed to analyze pedagogical actions towards the qualification of school Physical Education, all documented by the DIREC 06 Ilhéus (Bahia) from 2008 to 2011, namely pedagogical meetings, continuing education courses and school games.

This study is justified by an interest in socializing institutional pedagogical actions developed by the DIREC 06, in the sense of valuing and discussing the possibilities of school Physical Education beyond sports, searching for reflections about the pedagogical practice of teachers. The pedagogical actions were created, systematized and put forward from 2008 to 2011, when the DIREC proposed a set of formative proposals to legitimate school Physical Education. This historical period becomes important for being a moment of decision-making and implementation of the elaborated proposal, constituting a milestone for the current policy on pedagogical actions instituted in the state of Bahia.

Methods

The descriptive study, with qualitative approach, comprised the analysis of Bahia’s DIREC 06 legal documents on educational and sports policies for professional qualification of Physical Education teachers concerning continuing education, pedagogical meetings and the School Games of Bahia’s Public Network [Jogo’s Escolares da Rede Pública da Bahia], JERP, which took place from 2008 to 2011.

The documental analysis was carried out by means of documents characterized as primary sources, that is, those that did not receive statistical treatment1212. Santos, SG, Moretti-Pires, RO. Técnica de coleta de informações. In: Moretti-Pires RO, Santos RG, organizadores. Métodos e técnicas qualitativas aplicados a Educação Física. Florianópolis (SC):Tribo da Ilha; 2012, p. 169-194.. The documental sources that supported the study were reports made available by the DIREC 06, manually prepared, which allowed the analysis of actions performed by the coordination during pedagogical meetings, seminars, get-togethers, study groups and the JERP, specifying mediations, objectives, period for activities, target audience, methodologies and discussions.

Data analysis complied with all ethical orientations through the consent and authorization of the DIREC 06, as well as educational managers’ permission for the investigation of documental sources. Data were collected from 2012 to 2014, and, due to the volume of documents and information to be analyzed, were organized and systematized in 2015 and 2016.

Data analysis resorted to software Nvivo 9.2, which allowed the categorization of qualitative data. In this process, data were analyzed by means of content analysis1313. Bardin L. Análise de conteúdo. São Paulo (SP): Edições 70; 2009.. The content analysis technique is a set of techniques for collected information (message contents and indicators that allow one to infer about knowledge relating to the conditions of production/reception of these messages) and was organized in three phases:

  • Pre-analysis (data organization phase): surveying, selection and skimming of documental sources;

  • Material exploration (data coding, counting and classification: association of information with times analyzed and with the organization of pedagogical actions, and elaboration of categories of analysis;

  • Data treatment (inference and interpretation to make data valid and significant): document analysis based on times and categories listed.

Finally, it is worth noting that Software Qualitative Solutions Research NVIVO, version 10, is a program intended to help in the qualitative and quantitative data analysis, with the main function of text coding and storage of specific categories1414. Guizzo BS, Krziminski CO, Oliveira DLLC. O software QSR NVIVO 2.0 na análise qualitativa de dados: ferramenta para a pesquisa em ciências humanas e da saúde. Rev Gaúcha Enferm 2003;24:53-60..

Results and Discussion

The implementation of continuing education programs tends to contribute to the transformation process of teachers’ pedagogical practice and to institute new educational practices. In addition to expanding the discussion about current themes in an attempt to solve everyday problems, it seeks to instrumentalize and make education secretariats more dynamic in order to guarantee the quality of education and the fulfillment of legal rights in force.

In order to move forward with pedagogical matters inherent in education administration, the DIREC 06, from 2008 to 2011, in accordance with legal devices and considering different attempts aiming at strengthening Physical Education in schools, developed pedagogical meetings (pedagogical and administrative), continuing education courses and school games in the state of Bahia, which were registered in the Board’s own documents in the form of projects and annual reports that have recorded, qualitatively and quantitively, the actions developed.

Data registered in 2008-2011 reports revealed the conduction of 10 pedagogical meetings per year, with participation of around 38 teachers, totaling 53 registered in the network. According to these records, the get-togethers or pedagogical meetings, which took place once a month, with a pre-set schedule, constituted spaces for discussion, planning and formation of a group interested in overcoming the problems of school Physical Education. Such pieces of information corroborate with the recognition that teachers need to be prepared for a collaborative practice and to feel part of the school. However, it is not enough to massify continuing education, but also, through the quality it provides, to enable the creation of mechanisms that value a teacher’s work77. Geglio PS. Políticas públicas de formação continuada para professores: um estudo de cursos realizados a partir de propostas licitatórias. Ensaio: Aval Pol Públ Educ 2015;23:231-257.. In this context, continuing education actions for teachers are an aspect of paramount importance to improve teaching and work in public schools, as well as the provision of high-quality educational services1515. Mukan M, Myskiv I, Kravets S. The characteristics of the systems of continuing pedagogical education in Great Britain, Canada and the USA. Comp Prof Ped 2016;6:20-25..

In this sense, it is worth highlighting that collective teaching work in schools consists of integrating the activities of teachers, direction board and pedagogical staff in order to improve students’ learning by means of actions aimed at overcoming barriers teachers encounter, in this case, in school Physical Education1616. Bosle F, Molina Neto V, Wittizorecki ES. Trabalho docente coletivo na Educação Física escolar. Pensar Prát 2013;16:320-618. DOI 10.5216/rpp.v16i2.16905.
https://doi.org/10.5216/rpp.v16i2.16905...
. This scenario transcends mere educational proposals, as it allows dialogue and the transparency of affirmative political actions for Physical Education. Thus, this movement becomes important in reflections about professionals of this field by taking into account the outstanding position, the importance and the relevance of Physical Education classes for society1717. Ilha FRS. O professor de Educação Física e sua participação no planejamento educacional. Rev Virtual Partes 2008;1:01-06., but it reveals the detachment of teachers in discussions resulting from class councils or other pedagogical meetings that are imperative for the smooth operation of the school. The dialogue between coworkers contributes to breaking with the isolation of teachers, and this interaction can motivate these professionals to qualify their pedagogical actions1818. García CM. Estrutura conceitual da formação do professorado. In: Garcia CM, organizador. Formação de professores:para uma mudança educativa. Porto (PT): Porto Editora; 1999, p. 14-68..

The documents analyzed allowed the comprehension that the intermediation of articulators, the mediation of subsidizes of the Physical Education and School Sports Coordination of Bahia’s SEC and pedagogical meetings have turned into collective and decisive moments when it comes school Physical Education and sports matters. The analysis of meeting reports revealed that said meetings have triggered valuation processes towards the subject, inserting specialized teachers and the curricular component into the school context. According to the records, teachers at meetings presented their innovative ideas to motivate classes, socializing their experiences with peers. However, the meetings were not restricted to the socialization of didactical experiences only, but to debates about improvements in the physical and material structure of schools, wage devaluation and the training workload that is incompatible with the time necessary to combine studies and training. Thus, the demands of professional activities performed by teachers in the school context require a continuing education with a strong commitment with the expectations of the school reality66. Ampudia B, Tilve AMF, Dolores M. What do trade unions think about continuing education for teachers in Galicia? J Educ Sci 2016;11:161-169. DOI https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535
https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535...
, encouraging a consistent change in the pedagogical practice entailed in the objectives set by formative proposals.

In this scenario, Anacleto et al.9 reflect that training modalities offered should develop considering specific concepts, objectives and purposes, which depend on aspects of social, political and financial order, for being characterized as a search initiative by teachers and reflecting their view of both the educational process and the teaching job. Moreover, the main functions of continuing education systems should provide teachers with professional training, recycling and development, promote adaptation to teaching activities according to social and economic changes, and introduce innovative educational technologies1515. Mukan M, Myskiv I, Kravets S. The characteristics of the systems of continuing pedagogical education in Great Britain, Canada and the USA. Comp Prof Ped 2016;6:20-25..

In this way, it is believed that the proposal coming from educational sectors should be collective and aggregate everyone, so that the voices are translated into actions that actually articulate what is real and what is factual, that is, so there can be transformations in the pedagogical practice of teachers involved. Effectively, as a documented pedagogical action, the SEC implemented a continuing education course for Physical Education teachers in Basic Education, with a workload of 120 hours and the first module made up of 40 on-site hours, approaching basic contents for pedagogical praxis; the second module, with 40 hours as well and supported by theoretical knowledge, was dedicated to the application of projects at school units; the third module, with 40 on-site hours too, was the moment when the teachers exposed their experiences, reporting results achieved with practice.

Nationwide, the Brazilian Ministry of Education [Ministerium da Educação] (MEC) proposes continuing education programs to meet education demands in states and cities and to fulfill the National Educational Bases and Guidelines Law, which sets forth that it is the role of public agencies to provide continuing education1919. Brasil, Câmara dos Deputado. Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional. Lei nº 9.394/96, de 20 de dezembro de 1996. 13. ed. Brasília (DF): Câmara dos Deputados, 2016.. The programs provided include the ‘National Network for Continuing education of Teachers’, whose objective is to contribute to improving the education of teachers and students, with the priority target audience being basic education teachers from education public systems2020. Brasil, Presidência da República da Casa Civil. Decreto 8752/16. [Internet]. Dispõe sobre a Política Nacional de Formação dos Profissionais da Educação Básica. Brasília (DF): Presidência da República da Casa Civil; 2016. [Acesso em 30 jun 2017]. Disponível em: Disponível em: http://legislacao.planalto.gov.br/legislacao .
http://legislacao.planalto.gov.br/legisl...
.

The proposals analyzed state that one of the goals of the SEC was to contribute to studies and planning of Physical Education classes. Thus, with the available financial resources, investments on book kits were made, which intended to provide teachers with a contact with the updated literature and with themes related to school Physical Education. The documented records bring the information that, in the beginning of the 2011 academic year, the Physical Education coordination gathered 56 directors, vice-directors and pedagogical coordinators from the School Units in order to hand out this material. Continuing education actions, besides involving the teachers of the school, should be based on collective ideas and have pedagogical coordinators as interlocutors, becoming privileged measures, as they are the intermediating subjects among teachers with their reflections about practice, those responsible for turning actions to the school routine2121. Cunha RCOB, Ometto CBCN, Prado GVT. Trabalho docente coletivo e coordenação pedagógica: entre a heterogeneidade do cotidiano e um projeto de formação de professores. Rev Educ PUC-Camp 2013;18:171-179. DOI: https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v18n2a2026
https://doi.org/10.24220/2318-0870v18n2a...
.

The meetings of teachers participating in the training offered by the DIREC 06, besides being administrative, have become a space for discussion of texts and articulation of materials received, in a way that these references were aggregated to others in the sense of making proposals in the school context more dynamic. Furthermore, a partnership between DIREC’s Physical Education and Sports Coordination and the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC-Ilhéus/BA) led to cycles of lectures and debates, courses, pedagogical journeys and seminars, totaling 22 formative actions from 2008 to 2011 (Figure 1). In this case, continuing education activities involving courses, workshops, self-directed studies, online activities, in-service training at the workplace, along with offers in universities, are characterized as a set of measures created to keep professionals up to date2222. Cervero RM, Daley BJ. Continuing professional education: a contested space. New Dir Adult Contin Educ 2016;151:9-18. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/ace.20191.
: https://doi.org/10.1002/ace.20191...
.

Figure 1
Pedagogical Actions of DIREC’s Physical Education and Sports Coordination - 2008 to 2011

In this context, although in-service continuing education initiatives are largely taken on by the public power, they should involve a variety of partnerships88. Barreto ESS. Políticas de formação docente para a Educação Básica no Brasil: embates contemporâneos. Rev Bras Educ 2015;20:679-701. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015206207
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-24782015...
. In this case, the university, in collaboration with states and cities, is a fundamental institution in the execution of actions as to both initial and continuing education for teachers77. Geglio PS. Políticas públicas de formação continuada para professores: um estudo de cursos realizados a partir de propostas licitatórias. Ensaio: Aval Pol Públ Educ 2015;23:231-257.. In addition, a proposal such as the one implemented by the DIREC and the UESC reinforces the importance of partnerships between education secretariats, whether state or municipal, and universities, seeking to promote continuing education policies supported by collaborative relations that take into account the needs, regional demands and interests of teachers2323. Luiz IC, Mello AS, Ventorim S, Ferreira Neto A, Santos W. Investigação, narrativa e formação continuada de professores de Educação Física: possibilidades para uma prática colaborativa. J Phys Educ 2016;27:e2721. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/jphyseduc.v27i1.2721.
: http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/jphyseduc.v2...
.

It is shown in the proposals registered that the actions developed by the DIREC in partnership with the university aimed to contribute to the education of reflexive teachers capable of connecting theory and practice, being critical and inquisitive, in order to perceive transformations mediated in the school. It is also worth stressing that the profile of a professional with so many prerogatives is a necessity in the school sphere, which reveals the lack of education institutions, in this aspect. Although these actions are present in many Brazilian cities, professional qualification should be driven by several sectors, both public and private (university, Non-Governmental Organizations - ONGS -, study centers…).

Considering that federal, state and municipal agencies are responsible for organizing and promoting public policies, continuing education oftentimes depends on the initiatives of these agencies, and it is almost always in those states and cities with better financial conditions that the frequency and effectiveness of training proposals offered are more relevant to the needs and interests of teachers77. Geglio PS. Políticas públicas de formação continuada para professores: um estudo de cursos realizados a partir de propostas licitatórias. Ensaio: Aval Pol Públ Educ 2015;23:231-257.. The objective of these actions is to face public problems by means of political decisions on the construction and execution of these actions, seeking resolutions that are collectively relevant2424. Secchi L. Políticas públicas: conceitos, esquemas de análise, casos práticos. 2. ed. São Paulo (SP): Cengage Learning; 2013.. Thus, the continuing education process cannot be understood only as a “[…] scientific, pedagogical and cultural update for the teacher, but the discovery of the theory to organize it, found it, revisit it and fight it, if needed”2525. Imbernón F. Formação docente e profissional: formar-se para a mudança e a incerteza. 9. ed. São Paulo (SP): Cortez; 2011.):72.

A milestone in the region’s school Physical Education, according to the records, was the implementation of the Specialization Course on Physical Education and School Sports Methodology, held by the UESC in partnership with the SEC, the DIREC 06 and the Anísio Teixeira Institute, which had the participation of 30 teachers from the state network in the first class, and 15 teachers from other basic education institutions, class of 2011-2012. The course aimed to contribute to the continuing education of teachers from the state network, articulating Physical Education and the current demands of Basic Education2626. UESC. Projeto Curricular da especialização em metodologia do ensino da Educação Física e esporte. Ilhéus (BA): UESC; 2011.. Currently, Resolution CNE/CES No 02/20152626. UESC. Projeto Curricular da especialização em metodologia do ensino da Educação Física e esporte. Ilhéus (BA): UESC; 2011., which approved the new National Curricular Guidelines for initial training in higher education, highlights that Higher Education Institutions should provide continuing education possibilities by means of refresher, extension and graduate courses that promote new types of knowledge and practices articulated with public policies, teachers’ practice spaces and Basic Education teaching institutions2626. UESC. Projeto Curricular da especialização em metodologia do ensino da Educação Física e esporte. Ilhéus (BA): UESC; 2011..

Besides the acquisition and development of capabilities in work situation, continuing education also targets the promotion of educational innovations. For the consolidation of the process, teachers need a certain organization in the school context, which comprehends personal, professional and organizational matters. Personal matters correspond to self-development and acquisition of status in society, whereas the professional context has to do with career progression, professional satisfaction, curriculum valuation and the feeling of belonging to the professional group. Finally, the organizational matter seeks the adequacy of social, economic and technological changes of the world the teacher will have to understand to teach2727. Brasil, Conselho Nacional de Educação. Resolução CNE/CP n. 02/2015, de 1º de julho de 2015. Define as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a formação inicial em nível superior (cursos de licenciatura, cursos de formação pedagógica para graduados e cursos de segunda licenciatura) e para a formação continuada. Brasília (DF): Conselho Nacional de Educação; 2015.. Thus, with the aid of resources, specializations, conferences, seminars and other mechanisms, one should seek personal and professional growth2828. Pacheco JÁ, Flores MA. Formação e avaliação de professores. Porto (PT): Porto Editora ; 1999.),(2929. Leiro ACR, Souza EC. Educação básica e trabalho docente:políticas e práticas de formação. Salvador (BA): EDUFBA; 2010..

In this context, continuing education processes for Physical Education teachers should consider the different reasons that lead the latter to choose and invest on refresher or lato sensu graduate courses. These choices relate to personal and professional needs of teachers, who seek to expand their knowledge, invest on their profession, overcome difficulties in areas they do not master, with a desire to complement their initial training, breaking with routine and exchanging experience with peers99. Anacleto FNA, Ferreira JS, Januário CASS, Santos JH. Continuing education of Physical Education teachers and self-assessment of the teaching domain. Motriz Rev Ed Fis 2017;23:e101770. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-6574201700030028.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1980-65742017...
. Moreover, it is worth pointing out that teachers need to be constantly up to date about teaching strategies, methods and techniques, as well as evaluation and communication, so they can keep up with all advances in education and the characteristics of children and adolescents3030. Paloş R, Gunaru SA. The relationship between resistance to change and Romanian teachers’ attitude towards continuing education: the moderating role of conscientiousness. J Educ Tech 2017;43:23-50. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/02607476.2017.1297043
https://doi.org/10.1080/02607476.2017.12...

Finally, the records in the documents show that, in 2008, the JERP started with the pedagogical goal of enabling the participation and integration of students in school sports, awakening values such as respect, cooperation and inclusion, and articulating the socialization of body diversity with the valuation of corporeity, playfulness, sports and human movement. The JERP sought to involve teachers and directors in planning and execution decisions; those were the objectives set by the organizing team, according to the documents analyzed. A summary of the pedagogical actions of SEC’s Physical Education and Sports coordination, 2008-2010, can ben see in Figure 2.

Pedagogical actions of the Physical Education and Sports Coordination of the State Education Secretariat - 2008 to 2010

This scenario evidences that school sports seek to introduce and integrate students into the bodily culture of movement, to form citizens that will enjoy, share, produce, reproduce, transform, and should be aligned with the pedagogical proposal of the school3131. Darido SC, Rangel ICA. Educação Física na escola. Rio de Janeiro (RJ): Guanabara Koogan; 2005.. School sports contribute to human formation, supported by the principles of inclusion, socialization and contextualization of reality, as a set of bodily domains of learning turned to interactions with the other, seeking the enrichment of lived and acquired experiences. In this context, they can be thought of pedagogically and present alternatives that structure learning, so the latter is meaningful in the life of students, allowing for experiences that enrichen their existence as human beings3232.

The records on efforts to define the guidelines for Elementary Education (1994) and the curricular orientations for High School3434. Lepel. [Internet]. Educação Física: referências curriculares para a rede pública do estado da Bahia. [Acesso em 04 abril 2010]. Disponível em: Disponível em: http://www.rascunhodigital.faced.ufba.br .

targeted the overcoming of the ‘degrading’ situation of school Physical Education in the state of Bahia, for the lack of a basic curricular reference, with the start, in 1994, of the construction process of a Physical Education curriculum in the state network. In this sense, the documents highlight the video conference entitled ‘Seminar - Subsidizes for the 2012 planning - Physical Education Curricular Framework and the JERP’ as a means to promote knowledge about productions and referrals carried out in the curricular frameworks for Physical Education, expanding the exhibition and participation of teachers in different regions of the state of Bahia.

Regarding the expansion of possibilities of teacher participation, there is a growing interest in online teaching, since it allows participants to adjust their own available time without having to commute to a physical place, or can happen on weekends, when people have more free time, making this distance possibility increasingly valued in the educational context66. Ampudia B, Tilve AMF, Dolores M. What do trade unions think about continuing education for teachers in Galicia? J Educ Sci 2016;11:161-169. DOI https://doi.org/10.18844/cjes.v11i4.535

. In this case, actions such as video conferences aim to value collaborative studies and study possibilities in which participants stay in their workplace, decreasing one’s difficulties in keeping a continuous study routine in the teachers’ everyday practice3535.

The analysis of data made available for this study showed the inter-relation between Ilhéus’s DIREC 06 and Universities in the region, a fact that integrates the return of teachers to the university, and the university reaching the places where education happens. This relationship is being gradually built with the exchange of experiences between these two sectors, in which the school provides the laboratory for the practices of future teachers, and the university shares researches and scientific knowledge, coming closer to basic education3636. Cardoso GMP, Figueiredo WN. Universidade e sociedade: o papel do professor na (re) construção do conhecimento. Revista Intersaberes 2013;8:36-49.. Broadly speaking, the evidence found in the documents analyzed reflect that the pedagogical actions driven by the DIREC 06 are providing teachers from Bahia’s education networks the opportunity to analyze their pedagogical practice, allowing them to realize their deficits in relation to training, professional valuation and need to move forward, favoring the search for new types of knowledge and a better teaching quality.

Conclusion

The limitations of this study are centered on the period of investigation, which comprehended the years 2008 to 2011, a moment that propelled the implementation of a bolder proposal for teacher training in the state of Bahia, impacting pedagogical actions developed by teachers in Basic Education schools. Another limitation lies in the research design, supported exclusively on the analysis of documents provided by the DIREC 06.

The prerogative of systematized pedagogical actions for the quality of education and teaching promoted by educational managers subsidizes the fulfillment of the legislation and the expansion of possibilities to renew the pedagogical practice of teachers, as well as to resize affirmative educational policies. Bahia’s SEC, specifically, and the DIREC 06, articulated with higher education institutions have been seeking to overcome challenges and meet the demand of teachers. In the specificity of pedagogical actions developed by the SEC from 2008 to 2011, there was highlight to the strengthening of school Physical Education, its outcomes and the educational interface.

An aspect to underline is that the teacher qualification resulting from the actions developed comprises the expansion of the theoretical repertoire of teachers and the engagement of the state school community, driven by means of sports, a representative social phenomenon in the Brazilian reality. Besides these aspects, the diversification of school contents aimed to introduce in classes and in Physical Education planning contents such as fights, surf, skateboarding, beach volleyball and capoeira.

Finally, investments made by the SEC/BA on strengthening physical Education and on school sports are bringing positive results, involving, each day, more professionals longing to write new chapters of this story. In conclusion, school Physical Education has managed to overcome some historical ‘barriers’ through pedagogical actions that could strengthen the group’s feeling of belonging to the field of practice.
