CARIMBÓ AS A THEMATIC UNIT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION: PARADIDACTIC MATERIAL FOR PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN A FEDERAL INSTITUTION IN NORTHERN BRAZIL

Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the feasibility of making a paradidactic book to assist physical education teachers in carimbó dance classes for students of integrated courses in school physical education. This is a field research with the characteristics of an experimental study and with a quantitative approach. This research was carried out at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA), with a sample of 28 physical education teachers. Data collection was carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire made in Google® Form with alternatives on a Likert scale. The results showed that most participants were male (61%), with a mean age of 44.3 years, white (43%) and brown (39%), the average workload was 14.4 hours/month. In addition, the work regime of exclusive dedication was 93% of the participants. The length of professional experience was 19.7 years, classified as stabilization of the professional career. The teachers' perception of the need for the content of the thematic unit of folkloric dance and Carimbó had high validity by the content validation index (CVI). In addition, the paradidactic book as an educational product was developed and validated by the IVC with a score >78. The evaluations showed that both the diagnosis and the application improved the scores after reading the book, which was also demonstrated in the content validation index per item (IVC-I) that improved for diagnosis and application after the reading of the book by the teachers. However, it was possible to develop an educational technology to assist in the teaching of folk dances with a focus on carimbó, through a paradidactic book of narrative tale with a dialogue entitled: Carimbó: what dance is this?
