CULTURA INDÍGENA COMO FERRAMENTA PEDAGÓGICA NAS AULAS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

Abstract

The school, since the universalization of public education, has been a space with great cultural, ethnic and economic diversity, covering mainly the popular classes, children and adolescents belonging to it. Thus, this space must be democratic, in the sense of expanding the participation of all students, as well as their experiences and cultural background. The indigenous theme is configured as a content to be contextualized in the school environment and constitutes knowledge that considers cultural diversity as something present in the school environment. The present work aims to analyze the importance of the inclusion of indigenous culture in Physical Education classes, precisely as a factor of diversity, always taking into account how important this culture is and that it cannot be left out. The study is based on a bibliographical review, of a qualitative nature, based on the comparative method, seeking to elucidate the phenomena and allowing the assessment of concrete data, seeking to analyze similarities and clarify problems, explaining a phenomenon, deducing from this "the constant, abstract and general". Therefore, it is concluded that indigenous culture as a pedagogical tool for physical education classes provides students with a learning space that goes far beyond structural themes, this learning stimulates factors that are directly linked to the students' integral development. Stimulating benefits such as: respect, cultural appreciation, physical and mental stimuli in your practice.
