Abstract

In considering the possibilities of actions of Physical Education in the school, issues related to the social context in its broad sense emerge right away. Since the role of the school is to form the citizen, Physical Education shares part of the responsibility of such task. However, it is important to realize that this intervention in the school life will have its reflexions in the citizen to be. The intervention in the school's daily routine may cooperate as much for the conformation as for the transformation of the person and his/her social environment. A Physical Education based on theoretical-methodological underpinnings that are critical and creative and that aim at an affective participation in the school's social, political, and pedagogical project implies a radical rupture with the reductionist, sporting-competitive perspective, which is predominant in our schools.
