FUTSAL NAS AULAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: UMA ANÁLISE DAS QUESTÕES DE GÊNERO

Abstract

Physical Education is an area rich in knowledge that provides the experience and the possibility of analyzing gender issues, requiring, however, an in-depth study, especially with regard to gender relations in sports practices. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the sport of futsal in Physical Education classes with a focus on gender relations and issues. As methodological procedures, in addition to bibliographic research, questionnaires were applied on the subject for Physical Education teachers. The results obtained indicate the existence of discrimination and gender inequality in futsal sports practice. Despite historical achievements with regard to women's rights, in their practical experience there is still much to be achieved. And there is no doubt that this work of fighting against prejudice can and should be carried out within school institutions, with Physical Education teachers having a fundamental role in their teaching practice.
