PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDELINES: REFORM AND SUBORDINATION TO THE MARKET IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATION

Abstract

The educational reforms in the 1990s aimed to intervene in employee formation to make them fit the demands of capital globalization. In the area of Physical Education, the new curriculum guidelines are the result of these reforms, assuming the role of mediating the relationship between formation and teacher intervention. This article, an extract of biblio- graphical and documentary research, based on Dialectical-Historical materialism, analyzed the process of preparing the National Curriculum Guidelines for undergraduate courses in Physical Education. It is noted that these legal documents, and to legitimize the interests of social class ideologically identified with capital, tend to subsume the worker’s formation in Physical Education this logic.
