A Diversidade Nas Imagens Dos Manuais Do Professor De Educação Física No Brasil

Abstract

A imagem é uma linguagem icônica com o poder de transmitir informações, reproduzir estereótipos e influenciar o professor. Este estudo trata dos manuais do professor de Educação Física elaborados no Brasil e aprovados no Programa Nacional do Livro e do Material Didático (BRASIL, 2017). Especificamente, analisa as imagens de pessoas neles existentes, com vistas a verificar se existem estereótipos relacionados às práticas corporais. Foi realizada a análise com 854 imagens por meio dos testes de Xis ao Quadrado de independência que revelaram estereótipos relacionados às práticas corporais. Os resultados mostram a predominância de grupos mistos de crianças, com corpos ectomorfos, de cor ou raça branca e sem deficiência. Embora a diversidade de sexos esteja representada, os materiais ainda favorecem a reprodução de estereótipos e grupos hegemônicos tradicionais, perpetuando a invisibilidade da diversidade de corpos, de cor ou raça e de pessoas com deficiência.

Physical activity according to gender in Brazilian Physical Education textbooks

“…This indicates that Brazilian publishers are not moving towards the implementation of the principles of equal opportunities established for textbooks. However, the data presented by Loro et al (2021) are not confirmed in this study. These authors found a greater presence of mixed groups in the analysed books.…”

“…In the study by Loro et al (2021), on the diversity of images of Physical Education teacher guides in Brazil, of the 854 images analysed by four publishers, mixed group images predominated (48.5%), followed by male (30.7%) and female (20.8%) representation.…”

“…Specifically in Brazil, the analysis of school Physical Education textbooks is very scarce (Botelho & Neira, 2014). In this context, research on textbooks regarding gender has focused on two studies (González-Palomares et al, 2015;Loro et al, 2021).…”

“…For the election of the judges, they must meet the following requirements: 1) Possess a Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, 2) Minimum experience of 10 years in school or university Physical Education, 3) Participation in observational methodology research, 4) Experience with illustrated images, and 5) Having publications on the subject. To do so, we start from the system of categories of the SAIMEF tool, for the analysis of images printed in Physical Education textbooks in Spain (Moya-Mata et al, 2018) and their adaptation to the Brazilian educational context (Loro et al, 2021), modeled ad hoc.…”

Textbooks and Learning Materials in Physical Education in the International Context: Literature Review

“…Another study [ 25 ] highlighted the predominance of the ectomorphic or thin somatotype, well above mesomorphic or endomorphic, regardless of the publisher analysed. Other research [ 46 ] showed the predominance of mixed groups of children, with ectomorphic bodies, of color or white race, and without disabilities, but, although gender diversity is represented, the materials continue to favor the reproduction of stereotypes and traditional hegemonic groups, perpetuating the invisibility of diversity in color or race, bodies and people with disabilities.…”
