HOW GOOD IT IS TO CONNECT WITH MY INNER CHILD: PLAY IN TEACHER TRAINING

O LÚDICO NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the sensitization of Relational Psychomotricity in rescuing the adult who plays in the teaching training of the students who took part in the experiences. To this end, based on the descriptive memoirs of participants in the discipline of Relational Psychomotricity, offered as an elective in the first semester of each year in the curricula of the Physical Education and Pedagogy courses at a university in the far south of Brazil, the methodology of data analysis was adopted and two categories emerged: recovery of playful memories and innovation in the curriculum. As a result, the research indicates that the playful memories affected by the students occurred due to the structure and proposition of the PR, providing future teachers with a glimpse of practices that praise play and playful games and the other category sought to outline the essentiality of an innovation in the curriculum based on optional subjects such as this one, which made the students resignify their practice, giving rise to the body, expression and creation.
