The teaching by images in the periodic press of Physical Education (1932-1960)

Abstract: This study analyzed the uses that three periodicals made of the visual images to prescribe and to guide the corporal movements of each practice understood as part of Physical Education between 1932 and 1960. It assumes the assumptions of Cultural History and has as sources the subjects with images of the periodicals: Revista de Educação Física (1932-1960), Revista Educação Physica (1932-1945) and Revista Brasileira de Educação Física(1944-1952).The journals constituted a great repository of images, which, as a pedagogical resource, prescribed and guided the learning of the most diverse practices that were part of Physical Education, enabling the teachers to have in hand an easily accessible didactic material that allowed them to ‘see to do and learn to teach’.
