Systematization of the declarative knowledge in physical education in Brazil from 5th to 8th grades - basic education

This study aimed at selecting, systematizing and validating the declarative knowledge on the movement that can be transmitted during physical education classes from 5th to 8th grades. The selection of such declarative knowledge on human movement was based on physical education textbooks and its importance to physical education was evaluated by eleven professors. Starting from the themes selected by the teachers, the systematization of the knowledge was undertaken based on the definition of the outcomes at the end of the 4th cycle of the Basic Education. During this process the level of literacy of the students (according to indicators of the Ministry of Education) and the goals of other curricular components were taken into account. The proposal was validated by tests with 167 physical education teachers and 75 technical-pedagogical assistants from state schools. In order to evaluate the rate of agreement or disagreement of certain statements, the Likert scale was used to analyse the outcomes of each grade. Most of the outcomes on each grade have more than 80% of acceptance. Within a minority of the outcomes the agreement of the adequate grade was not unanimous. In four of the outcomes, referring to biodinamic and comportamental aspects, the acceptance was unanimous regarding the 8th grade
