The importance of school physical education in the formation of the individual

Abstract

ABSTRACT

It is necessary to recognize the importance and appreciation of the Physical Education discipline in basic education. Thus, this study aimed to review the literature on the contributions of the Physical Education discipline in the process of the integral formation of students. We sought to investigate the contents of this discipline and the possibilities of didactic-pedagogical intervention in favor of critical, reflective, autonomous and citizen training of children and adolescents in basic education. The bibliographic search consisted of searching articles published between 1981 and 2021, using, in a combined way, the descriptors Physical Education, school and training. After analyzing the titles and abstracts, 4 articles were included in this review. Physical Education as a curricular component, has as its basic assumption, to disseminate systematized knowledge about the body culture of movement, enabling the student to regulate, interact and transform in relation to the environment in which he lives, contributing to the formation of the sense of being human.
