Formação de bacharelado em educação física e as tendências do mercado de trabalho: aproximações e distanciamentos

Abstract

Objective: To analyze whether the relationship between the professional training of a bachelor’s in physical education and the labor market with its trends are closer or farther away. Method: An exploratory and bibliographic research was carried out. As a procedure for data analysis, a content analysis was performed using the pedagogical projects of the courses (PPC), the national curriculum guidelines (DCN) and the ACSM trends document. Results: The DCN's of the bachelor’s degree in Physical Education present some topics that correspond with the labor market trends pointed out by the ACSM survey for the year 2021, as well as the PPC's analyzed from two IES's, however, without direct notes. The point that most showed a gap between training and the labor market was related to the use of technologies aimed at the professional intervention of the Physical Education teacher. Conclusions: The formulation of the DCN's and adequacy of the IES's involve stages of discussion, evaluation and reformulation and, therefore, it is a slow and bureaucratic process. The job market undergoes constant changes, at a speed that the training process does not follow. Therefore, the IES’s themselves must make use of their autonomy to create mechanisms and spaces to discuss current issues pertaining to Physical Education.
