Physical Education School in the Covid-19 Pandemic: Experiences in High School Class in Northeast Brazil

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to share reflections regarding our experiences with teaching Physical Education at High School developed in two public schools in the interior of the State of Bahia, in the first school unit in 2021. The construction of the reports used the following as data source i) the records and reports of the centers of the Pedagogical Residency Program of each school;ii) the official documents that guide High School;and iii) teacher observation records. The experience reports point out important aspects about the teaching of Physical Education at High School in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as a) the difficulties in carrying out practical experiments in remote education;b) the importance of preparing study scripts;c) the concern with the large number of students who do not participate in synchronous activities;d) the limitations of evaluating learning. We conclude that it is not possible to provide quality school Physical Education in remote, virtual or distance format, since it is not possible to guarantee at High School the deepening of the contents of Body Culture without carrying out practical experiments, in groups, and under the responsibility of a teacher in person.
