ANALYTICAL MATRIX IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION: IMAGES FROM THE TEACHER'S VIEWPOINT

Abstract

This article reports on the use of an analytical matrix in Physical Education classes to study images of the content of Skateboarding. It portrays photos of the participants, produced at the location where the classes were taught. Our objective was to promote the teaching of the Adventure Body Practice (ACP) Skateboarding in the urban modality. We conducted a bibliographic survey of research that uses image analysis in Physical Education textbooks. The analytical matrix used allows the informative potential of the images demonstrated in this study. The model provides a wide range of analytical categories for understanding images, in Physical Education classes, about the content taught: Skateboarding. We understand that this matrix can also be tested on adventure images present in other teaching materials. Thus, it has the potential to enrich the pictorial analysis, revealing in which dimensions and categories the discrepancies in image representation are evident.
