EVALUATION IN SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION: ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN’S EXPERIENCES IN THREE YEARS OF SCHOOLING

Abstract

This article analyzes what children produce when faced with evaluation in Physical Education in three years of schooling. It uses narrative research with seven 6th graders of a primary school in the Municipality of Serra, Espírito Santo, Brazil. Its sources include Physical Education diaries produced by the children, which contain written and image records, as well as their individual and oral narratives. The analysis points to the potential of using diaries as a longitudinal evaluation practice, since children show the procedural way in which they ascribe complexity to their learning, thus expressing the relationships they establish with Physical Education knowledge in three years of schooling.
