Educação física escolar como aspecto motivador para alunos do ensino fundamental

Abstract

This study addresses school physical education as a motivating aspect for elementary school students. The general objective of the research was to study the lack of motivation of elementary school students in the public network by school physical education. The methodology adopted was the bibliographic research, framed in the Physical Education, Pedagogical and Social Practices line. The database used to survey the studies was the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), with the allocation of keywords based on the PICo strategy, in Portuguese, with the last 8 years being considered as the publication period (2014 to 2021). After applying the inclusion criteria, 11 studies were selected to compose the research analysis. It was found that there is a lack of research related to demotivation focused on the school infrastructure of specific school physical education classes. However, from the results found, it was observed that the lack of infrastructure demotivates not only the student but also the teacher, causing wear and tear on both, for not taking full advantage of school physical education, making it necessary to resort to improvisations and extra motivations. It is concluded that the physical education professional needs improvements in their work environment so that they can be valued and so that classes can provide the necessary motivation and help students to have a satisfactory experience, in addition to fully developing their activities.
