Abstract
We aimed to identify the innovative practices developed by physical education teachers and the barriers that produce pedagogical disinvestment. An action-research encompassing a continuing education program in Manaus/AM whose participants were students and teachers. Field diaries, textual productions, and evaluation reports composed the empirical material analyzed. The innovative practices materialized in the inclusion of subjects and inclusive and critical classes. Some barriers were the school culture, the devaluation of the subject, and the lack of time for planning. We advocate for training policies that focus on professional development and consider teachers as researchers of their practice.
