THE DAILY SCHOOL OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES: THEORETICAL REVIEW

This work is aimed at reflecting upon on the daily life of teachers and students in Physical Education (PE) classes, considering the perspective of Michel de Certeau's concept of "daily life". In PE classes the school knowledge is often treated in an imposing way, and it seems that this is due to the fact of the PE to be a subject which deals with matters related to the body and bodily practices. Therefore, PE teachers usually disregard the symbolic aspects that students impute to class and to contents they have experienced. Revision of literature focused on Physical Education classes and daily studies at school were used as the methodology procedures, thus characterizing this work as qualitative. A bibliographic survey was done in order to select texts which presented field research data about the meanings of Physical Education classes and teacher's work. The words used in the search on academic google and the key words were: "meanings of Physical Education classes" and "teacher's work", without combining each other. The conclusion is that the daily school of teachers and students is constructed and reconstructed in a dialectical way. The continuous process of resignification of Physical Education classes is precisely what can generate resistance to the tradition of such classes, as well as minimizing problems which alienate students in Physical Education classes and in the school as a whole.
