Epistemologia da Educação Física

Abstract

Was guide by the question: what are the epistemological characteristics of the production of this program, with special attention to logical articulation of techniques, methods and theories in research and epistemological and ontological assumptions and what its relation with the institutional conditions of its production?Were identified and analyzed trends thematic, forms of theoretical and methodological treatments of the developmental lines of production.To understand this production were restored its relation with the historical conditions, such as: history of physical education in Brazil, post-graduate studies in Brazil, national policies for science and technology, history of the program were the research has been done and training of its faculty.For recording and analysis of production was used an organizer instrument called Matrix Epistemological, who helped to reconstruct the internal logic of each survey, interrelating different levels (technical, methodological, theoretical, epistemological) and assumptions (the ontological and epistemological).The logical link between the reconstituted and historical conditions of production (logical-historical method) allowed to get the results, among which were: a) most research uses the empiricalanalytic approach, followed by the phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, these two approaches generate a voltage in the scientific field explaining an internal manifestation of 'science war' between biological and human; b) with some distance is the dialectical approach and recently the postmodern approach, approaches that link the critical perspectives and announce alternative epistemologies; c) confirms the contribution of epistemological inquiry, or research of the research, which enables to characterize and discuss the formation of a specific field.In this sense, it is expected that this research provides a mapping and analyses of production of one of the graduated programs more productive to contribute to a process of self-reflection and self-criticism in the scientific field of physical education.
