MARTINS, Rodrigo Lema Del Rio; SANTOS, Wagner dos; MELLO, André da Silva  and  VOTRE, Sebastião Josué. Children's participation in physical education: An educational experience with ‘Capoeira'. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.2, pp.51-73. ISSN 0871-9187.  https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.7123.

This study analyzes teaching practices focused on children's participation. The method used in the study combines Collaborative Action-Research with Participatory Methodology. Participants of this study are two teaching fellows, a teacher-supervisor and 25 children. The data were derived from participant observation, photographic records and drawings, collected from a pedagogical experience with the content "capoeira" in Physical Education classes in a municipal institution for childhood education in Vitória/ES. The analysis indicates that children, within their practices, resignify the teaching of culture mediated by adults and, based on children's productions, the educational intervention process is reoriented, considering the participation of children.

Keywords : Children participation; Capoeira; Physical Education; Childhood education.
