The institutionalization of school physical education in São Paulo (1930-1938)

Authors

Abstract

The Department of Physical Education of the State of São Paulo (DEF-SP) was created with the aim of guiding and overseeing sports in São Paulo. Throughout the 1930s, it also assumed responsibility for physical education in schools, establishing relations with the General Directorate of Education of the State of São Paulo (DE-SP), the department responsible for school education. The research aimed to analyze the institutionalization of school physical education promoted in São Paulo through the relations established between DEF-SP and DE-SP during the years 1930 to 1938. Specific school legislation was employed as documentary sources. The research concluded that the São Paulo state administration developed and implemented various initiatives to institutionalize school physical education. It was incorporated into the educational reforms of the time, but there were both convergences and divergences between the projects of DEF-SP and DE-SP, resulting in a fragmented and non-linear institutionalization.
