Ensaio sobre o esporte na escola: delineamentos a partir de uma correlação com os estudos de educação comparada

Abstract

Sport within the school context is the object of frequent questioning in relation to its true educational function – there is still a reductionist look at the phenomenon, understanding it as something excluding. In this sense, we will not deal with sport as one of the contents of the Physical Education curriculum, but as a practice that must occur after school hours. Therefore, the objective of the present essay is to point out a series of possibly fruitful ideas about sport at school, as well as correlations with studies in the field of comparative education.
