A supervisão pedagógica

: a gestão de um currículo flexível num curso profissional : um caso real de ensino integrado

Abstract

This work was born as part of our teaching profession and stems from the importance of better understanding the needs / interests of the student population, especially students practicing top-level sport and regularly had problems situations-attendance, dropout and conflict motivated by the lack of time to carry out homework. Given these and other issues identified over time and individuals for this specific audience, came the big question: how can we reconcile school activities and sports and that kind of education best suited to this problem. The practice of sports within youth has developed in a strong way throughout the last 20 years, taking to a more intensifying practice as well as an increase in the regularity of practice. From a weekly based frequency, practicing has changed into daily and, in high competition, twice a day practicing. This phenomenon unveiled a new paradigm a in the relationship between school and practicing sports. The theme of school unsuccess and abandonment became part of the youth daily life. Will and love for high competition sports may force them to abandon school if they aren’t able to combine both activities. This study aims to find efficient ways to conciliate high competition sports and school, within its curriculum. A flexible management of the curriculum, according to Carlinda Leite (2003), may bring to a curricularly intelligent school, changes in organization, which not only may enrich the professional teaching development, as well as it will introduce significant changes. This will allow the answer to the necessities of the local agents, who will definitely feel integrated in the educative community. The option for a vocational offer in the area of sports may be an answer for the flexible management of the curriculum, which integrates the practice of high competition sports in its own curriculum, making both activities possible.
