Contribution to the criticism of the training of Physical Education teachers

The object of this book was the training of Physical Education teachers and especially the connections and relations of the pedagogies of learning to learn with the National Curricular Guidelines of Physical Education. The pedagogies of learning how to learn term coined by Professor Newton Duarte encompasses a set of pedagogical theories that have as one of its characteristics the secondarization of the contents and science both at school and in teacher training. This perspective has been directed by international organisations and is present in a hegemonic way in Brazilian educational policy. We verified that the official legislation for the formation of Physical Education teachers - Resolution CNE/CP # 01 from February 18 2002 and Resolution # 07 from March 31 2004 - express regularities regarding pedagogical theory showing an alignment to this perspective. In this context we defend the historical-critical pedagogy as a conception that should guide the formation of Physical Education teachers having in mind the elevation of the working class cultural standard.
