Abstract

This study intends to shed light on critical pedagogy’s potential as a tool for raising Physical Education students’ awareness about gender inequalities. Eight football lessons were taught using cooperative learning and critical pretexts to encourage reflection. The research used ethnographic techniques. The findings show some changes on girls’ attitudinal and relational behaviour. Most of them gave up their initial conformism and started voicing their complaints and taking control of cooperative groups. These facts made us hopeful regarding the emancipatory possibilities of the proposition.
