Physical Education at BNCC: many tensions, some advances and possible prospects

Abstract

The present study aims to discuss the situation of Physical Education in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC - 2017 version). Based on the critical and transformative assumptions presented for the field of Brazilian Physical Education in the last four decades, through documentary research, we analyze the impact of this educational reform on the legitimacy of Physical Education as a mandatory curricular component of basic education. In this way, we point out the advances, contributions and critical possibilities from BNCC-Physical Education, which in our understanding, highlight the tension between certain political-pedagogical and epistemological achievements in the area of ??Physical Education, expressed in culturalist perspectives, with restricted objectives and rationalizing the skills and abilities model presented in the document.
