Abstract
The main objective of the article is to contribute with the discussion about the formation of scientific concepts in the scope of the Physical Education in school. This article emphasizes the reflection on the formation of scientific concepts of body culture, which we consider as the object of knowledge of Physical Education. It is a theoretical-bibliographic work, based on the references of historical-cultural psychology and historical-critical pedagogy. It was hypothesized that the treatment of body culture, within the pedagogical practice, should focus on the formation of scientific concepts, to the benefit of the student's theoretical-scientific thinking. For that, the following questions were addressed: analysis of the development of the human psyche; conceptualization of body culture; explicitation of didactic-methodological elements for pedagogical practice, with emphasis on the formation of scientific concepts. It confirms the hypothesis raised that the effectiveness of the pedagogical practice of Physical Education with the formation of scientific concepts of body culture can contribute to the theoretical-scientific development of the student.
