Educação física contemporânea: jogos digitais como apoio pedagógico em uma escola pública municipal de Iranduba – AM

Abstract

The present research aimed to analyze the theoretical-practical activities used by teachers and students in elementary school, specifically in the 8th. year at a municipal public school in Iranduba – AM. This is interdisciplinary research, which combines core knowledge from the field of pedagogy and physical education, seeking to understand the experimentation of digital games as a mechanism in the teaching and learning process in classes. The research sought to find pedagogical proposals and teaching methodologies that use digital games and which strategies found in these games could be used in the physical education discipline that can be incorporated or come closer to knowledge of body culture. It is characterized as a qualitative approach with data collection procedures through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentary research concerning the school's Political and Pedagogical Project. It was observed that pedagogical practice contributes in an interdisciplinary way, developing students' physical and cognitive skills, even helping learning in other disciplines. As a result, we were able to verify that the use of digital games in the practice of physical education can contribute to the teaching-learning process, when executed in an interdisciplinary and creative way, in order to culminate in the appreciation of sociocultural manifestations in the school environment.
