Full textThe prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the rising cause of mortality globally. Physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption are common NCDs risk factors contributing to premature death, related to NCDs worldwide. Youth’s lack of knowledge and misconception on physical activity (PA) and NCDs risk factors, aids the growing burden of NCDs globally. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the knowledge and perception of youth in a low-resourced community in the Western Cape Province. A qualitative methodological approach was adopted for data collection, using a qualitative exploratory study design. Convenience sampling was used to select the female youth participants, aged 18-35 years old from, Vrygrond in the Western Cape Province. Focus group discussions were steered by means of a semi-structured interview plan to guide the discussion about perceptions and knowledge of PA and NCDs risks factor. Trustworthiness was used to review information and to assess accuracy of findings. The discussions were analysed using Atlas.Ti8. Results indicated that the female youth were reasonably knowledgeable about the term PA. However, they lacked sufficient knowledge with regards to NCDs, indicating that participants are uninformed about NCDs and their risk factors in their community and local healthcare centres. Female youth’s socio-economic environment had an influence impact on their perceptions and decisions made with regards to PA and preventing them from engaging in NCDs risk factors. Furthermore, there were various barriers hindering the female youth from participating in PA and preventing them from engaging in NCDs risk factors. Results of this study will inform policy at the provincial, and national level, to provide cost effective and sustainable educative intervention programmes that address the youth misconception on physical activity and NCDs risks factor. Creation of awareness can positively influence beliefs and promote healthier practices, therefore making it crucial to understand NCDs risks factor implications on health, in lieu to combating the onset of NCDs.

Full textIn the contemporary school of general education all the study subjects provide learners with knowledge. Physical education is not an exception either. General Curricular of Primary and Basic Education (2008) point out that physical education focus on development of not only culture of movement but also on that of common human values and life skills. Attempts are made to enable a school student, who acquires knowledge, to better perceive functions of education and health promotion as well as applied and sport functions of school physical education. The research conducted by Zuozienė (1998), Kardelis, Kavaliauskas and Balzeris (2001) revealed that theoretical preparation of school learners' physical education has been of declarative nature both in the soviet time and after the restoration of Lithuania‘s independence: during lessons of physical education teachers orient boys towards development of their physical qualities, whereas girls are encouraged to acquire skills of healthy lifestyle. Thus, knowledge of physical culture is narrowed. Therefore, the enhancement of school learners’ interest in knowledge of physical education and understanding of the benefit of its effect have become topical. The problem of the research. The research problem is raised how to purposefully stimulate interest of the first year gymnasium learners in knowledge of physical education and its understanding and what measures may be applied.

Using a theoretical synergy between the Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) and Behavioral Ecological Model (BEM), the current dissertation research provides empirical evidence to support that organized participant sporting events can play a significant role in building a healthier community. First, using a proprietary U.S. community-based panel data from 2008 to 2014, study 1 examines the incremental effects of participant sporting events (PSE) in promoting active living at the population level. Panel regression with an instrumental variable approach and Multigroup Latent Growth Curve Analysis were administered. The key findings included (1) these population-based interventions have the capacity to impact population health at the state level; (2) such an influence significantly varies across the United States contingent upon a state’s economic development and the geographical region to which a state belongs. In study 2, the Multilevel Mediation Analysis was conducted with a spatially clustered cross-sectional data in 2014. The findings revealed that the access to exercise opportunities at the state level represents the underlying mechanism through which various forms of participant sporting events have the ability to elicit positive effects on health with respects to mental health, physical health, and physical activity participation at the county level. The findings suggested that PSEs represent effective public health platform to create healthier communities through integrating physically active leisure into population’s everyday routines. Overall, empirical results also help us better understand the importance of effectively leveraging community sporting events to deliver required health benefits to the general public and create practical guidelines to inform policy formation on resource allocation.

Full textO conhecimento é um caminho necessário para que os indivíduos comecem a tomar decisões a partir do conhecimento adquirido, assim, é de suma importância transmitir no ambiente escolar, através de uma metodologia diferenciada, as recomendações de atividade física, para que os adolescentes tenham a possibilidade de aumentar o conhecimento sobre as recomendações. Objetivou-se verificar a prevalência e fatores associados ao conhecimento sobre as recomendações internacionais de atividade física em adolescentes escolarizados no Estado de Sergipe. O estudo foi de caráter transversal com amostra composta por 3992 (2448 feminino e 1544 masculino) adolescentes no Estado de Sergipe, com idade entre 14 a 19 anos. As variáveis do estudo foram verificadas através de um questionário auto-administrado, utilizando a análise descritiva (frequência, Qui-Quadrado) e Inferencial (regressão logística binária bruta e ajustada). Os resultados deste estudo apontam para alta prevalência de adolescentes que desconhecem os componentes: frequência (85,2%), duração (69,4%), sessão (72%) e intensidade (81,5%) das recomendações de atividade física, como também, 99,8% desconhecem as recomendações de atividade física geral. Na analise entre os sexos, os meninos apresentaram ter mais conhecimento em relação às meninas. No componente frequência, os adolescentes do sexo feminino, do turno noturno e considerados sedentários tiveram mais chance de desconhecerem as recomendações, tendo os adolescentes do 3º ano com mais chance de conhecerem as recomendações. No componente duração, o sexo feminino, adolescentes do 3º ano e considerados sedentários apresentaram mais chance de conhecerem as recomendações, tendo os adolescentes com 3-4 anos de atraso escolar com mais chance de desconhecerem as recomendações. Já, em relação a sessão, as meninas, alunos com idade entre 16-17 e 18-19 anos e que estudam no 2º ano tiveram mais chance de desconhecerem as recomendações. E, no componente intensidade, as meninas apresentaram mais chance de desconhecerem as recomendações. Conclui-se que os adolescentes tiveram alta prevalência em relação ao desconhecimento das recomendações de atividade física e, que algumas variáveis sociodemográficas e nível de atividade física apresentaram associações significativas, tendo algumas variáveis de forma separada ou agrupada influenciando o nível de conhecimento dos adolescentes sergipanos.

A atividade física é uma das formas de manifestação humana no que se refere ao movimento, é apenas um conteúdo da educação física que compreende a cultura corporal de pessoas e coletivos e se apresenta como um caminho de possibilidades na construção da saúde, que não pode ser vista sem os seus aspectos socioambientais. O presente estudo tem por objetivo principal, identificar os conhecimentos sobre atividade física, saúde e ambiente, através do processo de trabalho das equipes do Programa de Saúde da Família no município do Rio Grande. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de corte transversal orientada por caráter descritivo-exploratório e analítico-quantitativo que estudou os conhecimentos referentes à atividade física, a saúde e ao ambiente das equipes que compõe atualmente o Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) no município do Rio Grande, buscando uma visão geral dessa realidade. Nessa perspectiva foi construído um questionário contendo dez questões de com quatro alternativas ou mais cada utilizando uma escala crescente de importância com notas de zero a dez, e uma questão aberta. Participaram do estudo 122 trabalhadores (médicos, enfermeiros, técnicos e agentes). O processo de análise identificou um conhecimento prévio desses trabalhadores sobre atividade física, saúde e ambiente, mas ainda percebese um enraizamento de conceitos de natureza biológica, foi possível também visualizar de um programa de saúde pública/coletiva em funcionamento efetivo e conhecer o perfil dos trabalhadores atuantes nesses serviços. Neste sentido a Educação Física pode contribuir para desmistificar alguns conceitos na relação atividade física, saúde e ambiente proporcionando que o trabalhador se concretize como sujeito e conseqüentemente cidadão e ator, cumprindo seu papel.
Physical activity is one of the ways of human manifestation that refers to movement. It is a content of the physical education that comprehends the corporal culture of people and groups and it presents itself as a path of possibilities in the construction of health, but it can not be seen without its social- environmental aspects. The present study aims to identify the knowledge on physical activity, health and environment, through the process of work of the team members of the Family Health Program in the city of Rio Grande. A traverse cut survey guided by descriptive – exploratory and analytical-quantitative character was accomplished and it studied the knowledge regarding to physical activity, health and environment of the team members who work nowadays at the Family Health Program in the city of Rio Grande, searching for a general view of their reality. In that perspective a questionnaire containing 10 questions with four or more alternative answers using a growing scale of importance with grades from zero to ten, and an opened question .122 workers took part in the study (doctors, nurses, technicians and health agents).The analysis process identified the workers previous knowledge on physical activity, health and environment but it was also noticed that most concepts have a biological basis .It was also possible to visualize a public health program in effective operation and to know the profile of the workers acting in those services. In this sense Physical Education can contribute to demystify some concepts in the relationship physical activity, health and environment enabling the worker to become a citizen and consequently being able to accomplish his role in society.

Full textEpilepsia é uma desordem neurológica caracterizada por crises recorrentes não provocadas que afetam pessoas de todas as idades. Um problema importante no cuidado da epilepsia é a falta de profissionais qualificados. Como o exercício físico é normalmente prescrito e acompanhado por professores de Educação Física, a proposta deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento dos estudantes de Educação Física em relação à epilepsia a fim de fornecer informações efetivas das precauções e conhecimento dos efeitos positivos do exercício físico na epilepsia. Neste sentido, este estudo avaliou o conhecimento geral dos estudantes de educação Física geral sobre epilepsia através de um questionário. Setecentos e cinqüenta e cinco estudantes de Educação Física de ambos os sexos responderam ao questionário. O questionário foi dividido em 3 partes: 1- Conhecimento geral sobre epilepsia, 2- Experiência prévia sobre epilepsia e 3- Conhecimento em relação a restrições para pessoas com epilepsia. Os estudantes responderam adequadamente quase todas as questões da primeira parte do questionário. Entretanto, na segunda parte do questionário, de forma geral, eles não mostraram ter experiência prévia sobre epilepsia. Com relação a restrições as pessoas com epilepsia abordada na terceira parte do estudo, as respostas adequadas variaram entre os participantes. Nossos resultados mostram uma falta de adequada informação dos estudantes de Educação Física sobre epilepsia. Um aprimoramento deste conhecimento poderia contribuir para a melhora dos cuidados necessários para as pessoas com epilepsia.
Epilepsy, a chronic disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures, affects people of all ages. This study aimed to assess physical educators’ general knowledge about epilepsy. One hundred thirty-four physical educators of both gender answered a questionnaire. The majority of professionals interviewed believe that a seizure is an abnormal electrical discharge of the brain, persons having convulsions will not necessarily present epilepsy, believe that epilepsy is a cerebral chronic disease that can not be cured or controlled, and believe that people with epilepsy have difficulties of learning. Questions concerned previous professional experience with epilepsy showed that more than half of those interviewed have seen a seizure and have access to some information about epilepsy. Thus, 37 professionals have a friend or relative with epilepsy, 19 have a student with epilepsy, and 39 helped someone during seizures. Our findings reveal a lack of physical educators’ appropriate information about epilepsy. Improvement of physical educators’ knowledge about epilepsy might contribute to the improvement of epilepsy care/management.

Full textBackground: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disease in pregnant women. GDM increases drastically related to sedentary behaviour. Treatment includes dietary advice, advice on physical activity and if necessary, insulin therapy. Objective: The purpose was to examine how physically active women with GDM are, their knowledge and outcome expectations on physical activity during GDM and whether there is any correlation between knowledge, outcome expectations and level of physical activity. Method: Observation study of non-experimental design was performed with a web-based questionnaire created in Google Forms. Study participants from Specialistmödravården at Akademiska sjukhuset Uppsala and a closed Facebook group. Results: The majority devoted less than 30 minutes to physical exercise a regular week, did not meet the recommendations for everyday exercise and were sedentary throughout the day. Most of the participants answered more than half of the questions correctly and were confident that physical activity is healthy. No significant correlations were found. Conclusion: The study participants had knowledge and high outcome expectations regarding physical activity, but their physical activity level was low. Further research on correlations is required.

(Sigal et al., 2006; Praet & van Loon, 2009). No entanto, e apesar deste reconhecimento, a maioria da população com diabetes tipo 2, apresenta baixos níveis de atividade física que na literatura têm sido relacionados com conhecimento deficitário ou inadequado acerca dos benefícios e das recomendações para a mesma (Madden, et. al., 2009). Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de determinar o nível de atividade física e de avaliar a sua associação com o conhecimento acerca dos benefícios da atividade física e recomendações específicas para a sua prática. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, de natureza descritiva e do tipo Survey (estudo de levantamento) realizado com uma amostra de 50 indivíduos recrutados a partir da consulta de diabetes de uma Unidade de Saúde Familiar da região de Setúbal. A recolha de dados foi feita através da aplicação conjunta, e de uma só vez, de três questionários (Questionário de caracterização sócio-demográfica; versão portuguesa do International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ; Questionário de Avaliação de Conhecimentos acerca dos benefícios e recomendações específicas da prática regular de atividade física), adaptados ao método de entrevista telefónica. Os resultados revelaram que a maioria dos participantes tinham baixos níveis de atividade física (60%), apesar de demonstrarem bons conhecimentos acerca dos benefícios da sua prática regular (67%). Nas analises exploratórias verificou-se uma associação estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis, “género” (p= 0,045) e “existência de recomendação para a prática do exercício por parte de um profissional de saúde” (p=0,017), com os conhecimentos acerca dos benefícios da prática regular de atividade física. São os indivíduos do género feminino e com a existência de recomendação para o exercício por parte dos profissionais de saúde, que tendem a demonstrar um nível mais elevado de conhecimento acerca dos benefícios da atividade física.
Abstract: The practice of physical activity has been referred in the research literature as a key strategy in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with positive influence in reducing its associated complications (Sigal et al., 2006; Praet & van Loon, 2009). However, the majority of people with T2DM, presents low levels of physical activity, which has been associated, with poor knowledge about its benefits and/or about the current guidelines’ recommendations for that practice (Madden, et. al., 2009). The purpose of this study was to determine the level of physical activity, in a sample of T2DM patients, and to assess its relationship with knowledge of physical activity benefits and knowledge about specific recommendations for the practice of physical activity. An observational descriptive study was carried out with a sample of 50 T2DM participants, recruited from the medical consultation of one of the Familiar Health Units in the Setúbal Region. Three aggregated questionnaires sociodemographic questionnaire, Portuguese version of the International Physical Questionnaire- IPAQ; Knowledge evaluation about physical activity benefits and specific recommendations for regular physical activity practice Questionnaire) were administrated by telephone interview, all at the same time. The study’s findings showed that the majority of the participants had low levels of physical activity (60%), regardless their appropriate knowledge concerning the benefits of regular physical activity (67%). The results of this study have also shown that participants have a poor and/ or inappropriate knowledge concerning the specific physical activity recommendations that have a positive impact in this specific condition. The exploratory analyses revealed a statistically significant association between an appropriate knowledge about the benefits of physical activity and both “gender” (p=0,045) and “recommendation for physical activity practice by an health professional” (p=0,017). Female participants, who received recommendations for regular physical activity, showed higher levels of knowledge concerning the benefits of being physically ative. The study’s findings suggest that T2DM patients need appropriate information and knowledge about how they should practice physical activity.Practising physical activity following current specific recommendations about the mode, frequency, intensity and duration has a positive effect on the management of T2DM.

Resumo: As Universidades brasileiras, em seus estatutos estabelecem três funções específicas: o Ensino, a Pesquisa e a Extensão. Estas Universidades necessitam criar, desenvolver, organizar, preservar, transmitir o saber acadêmico-científico e a cultura por meio do ensino e da pesquisa, para formar profissionais aptos ao exercício da investigação científica, para o desempenho do magistério e das demais profissões, articulando-se ainda, com a comunidade, na busca do desenvolvimento de suas atividades acadêmicas. Nos últimos anos, tem havido um interesse crescente em relação à pesquisa em Atividade Motora Adaptada. Outro fato também observável é que as pesquisas que discutem a produção do conhecimento científico nos programas estrito senso em Educação Física no Brasil têm enfocado áreas de concentração e linhas de pesquisa diversas, mas não privilegiam a Atividade Motora Adaptada. Um ponto relevante de investigação, então, é verificar o conhecimento produzido em Educação Física envolvendo a Atividade Motora Adaptada, nos programas de mestrado e doutorado, reconhecidos e recomendados pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior. Para tal investigação utilizou-se Levantamento bibliográfico com análise de conteúdo, onde foram analisados um grande número de estudos e reduzidos a princípios básicos. Os dados coletados foram organizados em categorias: Categorias Teórica, divida em subcategoria - Tematização; subcategoria - área de Concentração, Linha de Pesquisa; subcategoria - Autores, Orientadores e Data de Defesa; Categoria Metodológica: subcategoria - Coleta de Dados: Técnicas de pesquisa, Instrumentos Utilizados e Procedimento Metodológico; subcategoria - Grupo de Foco, sendo posteriormente tratados a partir de grelhas de análise. Nessa pesquisa o termo Atividade Motora Adaptada foi compreendido como a busca de adequação de meios para se executar uma tarefa diante da ausência ou da impossibilidade de se usarem os meios convencionais1. E dessa forma ligado a grupos especiais, como: em condição de deficiência (física, motora, física sensorial e mental). Num primeiro momento, portanto, foi realizada a análise das dissertações e teses a partir dessas categorias e num segundo momento a análise de elementos oriundos das mesmas, estabelecendo, por sua vez, generalizações a partir de condicionantes históricos, políticos e sociais, compreendendo o período de 1986 até o ano de 2008, nos cursos de Educação Física, no Brasil. No caso específico da Educação Física e Atividade Motora Adaptada, não se pode ignorar que mudanças significativas vêm ocorrendo, principalmente após a Organização das Nações Unidas ter instituído o ano de 1981 como o Ano Internacional da Pessoa Portadora de Deficiência, o que contribuiu para a estruturação de um perfil para esse campo de conhecimento: Acontece predominantemente em áreas de concentração biológicas; Compõem o quadro de pesquisadores cento e vinte e três pessoas com produção na área estudada- 35 professores orientadores que possibilitaram a titulação de sessenta e oito mestres e vinte doutores; As temáticas envolvem como grupos de foco, preferencialmente adultos, seguidos pelo de crianças e posteriormente adolescentes; A pesquisa stricto sensu em Educação Física envolvendo AMA representa um espaço ainda novo, uma vez que a primeira dissertação data de 1986 (USP); A UNICAMP aponta como a IES com maior produção na área (53 pesquisas), seguida pela UFRGS (11 pesquisas), pela USP (6 pesquisas), pela UCB e UGF (4 pesquisas cada uma), pela UNESP e UFSC (3 pesquisas cada uma), pela UDESC e UFPR (com 2 pesquisas cada uma); Apenas duas IES possuem uma linha de pesquisa específica para tratar das questões inerentes à pesquisa em Educação Física envolvendo a AMA- UNICAMP e UFRGS. O que se somando ao tempo que já desenvolvem pesquisa na área, favorece uma maior produção; Somam-se aos pontos anteriormente citados como determinantes para que a pesquisa stricto sensu em Educação Física assim se estruture os seguintes: sua alocação na área 21, área da saúde; os critérios de avaliação das produções estabelecidos pela CAPES; a recente chegada da população em condição de deficiência como sujeito da pesquisa stricto senso, em EducaçãoFísica; nas bibliografias indicadas (o que pode-se perceber por meio dos testes padronizados), notoriamente influenciadas pela visão norte-americana de deficiência; A pesquisa stricto sensu em Educação Física envolvendo AMA, mostra-se corajosa uma vez que aborda justamente aquele em condição de desvantagem em relação aos movimentos padrões, estabelecidos ao longo da construção da Educação Física. Contudo, é importante salientar que esse perfil tem se construído como produto e processo de um grande complexo contextual amplo e dinâmico, com diversos fatores contribuintes, o que esse estudo levou em conta.
Abstract: In Brazil, the bylaws of Universities set forth three specific purposes: Education, Research and Extension Courses. Such universities must create, develop, organize, preserve and foster academic and scientific knowledge and culture, through education and research, in order to train professionals who are able to conduct scientific research, teach, and practice other professions, as well as work with the community, in order to develop academic activities. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the research of Adapted Motor Activity. Another observable fact is that the studies, which discuss the production of scientific knowledge in post graduation and doctorate programs in Physical Education in Brazil focus on several fields and lines of research, but have not prioritized Adapted Motor Activity. Therefore, a relevant research theme would be to survey the knowledge produced in relation to Adapted Motor Activity, within the masters and doctorate programs, in Physical Education, recognized and recommended by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel). In order to conduct such a survey, a review of the literature in the field, as well as an analysis of the content, was conducted, whose aim was to analyze a large number of studies and list their basic principles. The data collected were organized into categories: Theory, divided into subcategories - Theme; Area of Concentration, Line of Research; Authors, Advisors and Date of Presentation; Methodological: Data Collection: research techniques, Methodological tools and procedures used; Focus Group. These were further processed by analysis grids. For the purpose of the present work Adapted Motor Activity is defined as the effort to adapt the means to execute a task in the absence of conventional means or inability to use them. 2 In this manner it is related to special groups, as those people with disabilities (physical, motor, physical sensorial and mental). At first, the analysis of dissertations and theses, between 1986 and 2008, of the Courses in Physical Education in Brazil, was conducted based on the abovementioned categories, and later the focus was on the analysis of elements obtained, and the establishment of generalizations based on historical, political and social determinants. The significant changes that have taken place, particularly in the field of Physical Education and Adapted Motor Activities, cannot be ignored, especially since the UN instituted 1981 as the International Year for Disabled Persons, which contributed for the establishment of a profile in this field of study. Studies have been produced mainly in the area of Biological Sciences; there are 123 researchers, who produce work in this area, 35 are professors/thesis advisors, who in turn give orientation to 68 graduate and 20 doctorate students; the themes are focused on groups which mainly involve, in that order, adults, then children, and adolescents. Research in Physical Education in relation to AMA represents a fairly new field, as the first dissertation was presented in 1986 (USP). UNICAMP is the Higher Education Institution with the most prolific production in the area (53 studies), followed by UFRGS (11 studies), USP (6 studies), UCB and UGF (4 studies each), UNESP and UFSC (3 studies each), UDESC and UFPR (with 2 studies each); only two Higher Education Institutions have a specific line of research to deal with issues related to AMA in the field of Physical Education - UNICAMP and UFRGS. This fact and the amount of time dedicated to research in the area, has fostered a greater production in those institutions. Besides the previously mentioned determinants of the manner through which research in Physical Education is structured, are also the following points: the allocation of the field in area number 21, Health; the evaluation criteria for production established by CAPES (Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel); and the recent discovery of the disabled population as research subjects, in Physical Education; in the listed Bibliography (as can be verified with standardized tests), notably influenced by the North American notion of disability. The research about AMA in Physical Education has been bold as it focuses on individuals who are in disadvantage in relation to standard movements, established during the evolution of Physical Education. However, it is important to emphasize that this profile has been constructed as both a product and a process in a contextual complex that is much more comprehensive and dynamic, with many contributive factors, which have been taken into account in the present study.

Full textAim of the study is to investigate peculiarities of Kaunas University of Technology students’ nutrition. Objectives: 1. Investigate peculiarities of students’ nutrition. 2. Investigate students’ news about nutrition. Methods. An anonymous survey using a specially designed questionnaire was carried out on 310 first – second - year students of the Kaunas University of Technology. The questionnaire was used for investigation of peculiarities of students’ nutrition, healthy nutrition knowledge, and physical activity. Results. The nutrition of students is irregular; differ in time and number of meals. Only 12,3 percent (males 24,0 percent and females 4,3 percent) eats 5 and more times per day. Three – four times per day are eating 66,4 percent males and 74,1 percent females. Students stated that they don‘t have time for healthy nutrition. Males are eating later last time per day than females. Mostly females last time per day eats till 8 p.m. and males after 8 p.m. It doesn‘t related to their living place. There was established coherence between last time eating per day and body mass index (BMI), students who are at the second group by BMI (BMI-18,5-24,9) last time per day are eating till 6 p.m. Students who have overweight are eating last time per day after 8 p. m. Students consumed insufficient amounts of bread, potatoes, cereals, and other products that constitute the basis of the pyramid of healthy nutrition. The largest part of vegetable oil using first group students by BMI... [to full text]

A Educação Infantil (EI) no Brasil já assumiu diferentes funções ao longo da sua história: assistencialista, compensatória e preparatória, até tornar-se primeira etapa da Educação Básica, com a publicação da Constituição Federal de 1988. Tantas transformações neste percurso, desencadearam e possibilitaram discussões pautadas em concepções de ensino que consideram a prática dialogada, como elemento vital na construção de saberes histórica e socialmente constituídos. Neste contexto e aliadas às vertentes teóricas construtivistas, as vivências individuais dos pequenos ajudaram a provocar reflexões e novas posturas, tanto para os alunos, quanto para os professores. É nesse universo de ressignificação de saberes que este trabalho se estrutura. Focamos o olhar sobre o ensino de ciências na EI, numa investigação que busca identificar indícios de Alfabetização Científica (AC) nos registros e discussões dos pequenos na escola e, também, averiguar práticas pedagógicas que favoreçam este aspecto. Para tanto, apresentamos uma sequência didática (SD) elaborada a partir de uma brincadeira do conhecimento físico, escolhida pelas crianças: bolinhas de sabão, com o intuito de favorecer a vivência prática, o questionamento e as discussões como elementos chave, na construção de aprendizagens dos assuntos das ciências. Esta é uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa e os dados foram obtidos através de múltiplas fontes, como rodas de conversa registradas em áudio e vídeo, fotos e registros produzidos pelas crianças nas quatro etapas da SD. A análise dos dados foi embasada nas competências científicas propostas por Furman (2009), nos indicadores de Alfabetização Científica elaborados por Sasseron e Carvalho (2008),) e nos tipos de conteúdo descritos por Zabala (2008). Assim, identificamos a presença de indícios de AC na EI, contemplando os três instrumentos de análise usados nesta empreitada.
The Children Education (CE) in Brazil has assumed different functions along its history: welfarist, compensatory and preparatory until become the first step on Basic Education after published of the Federal Constitution on 1988. Many transformations on this trajectory started and supported discussions based on teaching concepts that consider the dialectic practice as vital element on building of social and historical established knowledge. On this context and allied to theoretical constructive view, the living experiences of the children help to achieve reflection and new behavior from teachers and students. It is on this universe of redefinition of meaning of knowledge that this work has been based on. We focus our vision on science teaching on CE, on an investigation that seeks to identify traces of Scientific Literacy (SL) on the records and discussions of the children at school and also to evaluate pedagogical practices that support this aspect. For this purpose, we present a Didactic Sequence (DS) based on a joke of physical knowledge chosen by the children - soup bubbles - intending to ease the practical experience, the questioning and discussions, as key elements for building the Science subject learning. This is a research with qualitative approach. The data was achieved from multiple sources such as conversation groups recorded on audio and video, pictures and records produced by children on all five steps of DS. The data analysis was inspired on the indicators of Scientific Literacy made by Sasseron e Carvalho (2008), on the scientific competences proposed by Furman (2009) and on the types of content by Zabala (2008). We have identified presence of traces of Science Literacy (SL) on Children Education (CE) on the three analysis instruments used on this research.
