Continuing Education in Physical Education at the interfaces with narrative research

a production review

Abstract

Academic productions on continuing education in the field of Physical Education still occupy a marginal position, especially when considered in their interfaces with narrative research. As a potential investigative possibility, narrative research presents itself as an alternative for a shift in the view of horizontal and collaborative training practices in the direction of valuing teaching action through reflection on their experiences, attributing protagonism to personal and social narratives. Based on the above, we ask: what has the production of academic knowledge been like in the last 10 years in stricto sensu graduate programs in Brazil involving the triad Physical Education, Continuing Education and Narrative Research? This secondary research of the state-of-the-art type investigated, within the scope of BDTD and through the descriptors Physical Education, Continuing Education and Narrative Research, the production on the subject in the last 10 years. Of a universe of 111 works found, only 09 mentioned this specificity, in a framework of reflection where narrative research does not present itself as a determinant. In view of their formative potential, the results corroborate a certain instrumentalism and encourage new possibilities for studies, training and publications on the topic towards better dialogue between the descriptors.
