THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM: ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC WORKS

Abstract

This study investigated how scientific works published in 2000-2017 analyzed the curriculum for training Physical Education teachers. Bibliographic research was carried out in ten Physical Education journals classified as A1-B3 by Qualis Capes. Titles, abstracts and keywords of 230 articles were submitted to content analysis. The most widely analyzed curriculum development level was the so-called “realized curriculum”, i.e. knowledge learned by students, while the so-called “evaluated curriculum” was not analyzed. The most widely investigated topic was course subjects and most of the research does not use any reference to conceptualize curriculum. Better coordination between curriculum levels is suggested, with emphasis on the evaluated curriculum.
