A memória que se constrói: primeiros professores de educação física de Trindade (GO)

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the memory of the first physical education teachers of Trindade (GO). The research was based on a qualitative approach, having oral history as method, and interviews and observation as techniques for data collection. The results showed that the physical education teachers majored from „Escola Superior de Educação Física e Fisioterapia de Goiás- ESEFEGO‟ in the 1970‟s. The profile of the researched teachers is a reflex of the historical context from which they majored. At the time, physical education had militarism and sportsmanship as its main characteristics. This research rescued the memory of teachers regarding their perceptions in relation to the physical structure, lesson planning and incentive they receive from for local authorities to the discipline.
