Abstract

This research was guided in identifying an interface between the areas of Psychology and Physical Education (PE). The objective of the study was to identify the disciplines of psychological caracter present in the curriculum of these courses, understand if they contribute to the education of teachers of PE, and even check how it happens. It is a work that part of psychological issues present in the training of teachers, problematizing the production of knowledge in different periods. To that end, were carried out a survey of scientific references, based on bibliographic databases on teacher training in these two areas. The research was carried out in two steps: 1- documentary analysis of the respective Political Projects Pedagogical (PPP) of the courses in question and of the educational plans of disciplines that were found; 2- interviews with the teachers responsible for disciplines of Psychology in undergraduate in EF of those IES. For the data analysis a qualitative approach was chosen for the descriptive, based on Strauss and Corbin (2008). The research included all public IES of MG, which offer Degree courses in PE, of the presential type. In the PPP we tried to understand the professional profile designed in this course, based primarily on curricular structures elaborated for this qualification. In the interviews we used a semistructured questionnaire with guiding questions , allowing subjects to freely express their answers, their concepts about the disciplines that they teach. Were carried out 17 interviews from a total of 17 teachers, present in 13 courses. After the collection of the information, we analyzed the method proposed by the authors mentioned above, interpreting the data and trying to point the interfaces between the disciplines of Psychology and the education of teachers of PE. All the data were crossed seeking the better understanding of the questions that generated this study. We met relation in respect to the training of teachers who teach the disciplines of Psychology different degrees as in History, Physical Education, Psychology and even those who have graduations in these two areas. We found 19 disciplines of Psychology in curricular structures analyzed, which were categorized into 4 dimensions: Educational Psychology, Human Development, of learning and Sports. It was still presented the convergences and divergences between all of them, in that they relate to menus, objectives, content, assessments, and bibliographies, both those listed in PPP as in the education plans of the disciplines, which were presented by their respective teachers. The answers given in the interviews were summarised in relation to the contribution of the discipline for training teachers of PE, as well as the method and the evaluation used for its development. The study launched reflections around approximations between Psychology and PE, not as isolated disciplines, but both working for the purpose of valuing of the individual, the subjective issues and social relations. The courses of PE must support in psychological theories to improve the training of teachers in the area, leading to understanding of inter-personal relations, the process of teaching and learning, human development and the psychological issues of sports practice.
