O TRABALHO DO PROFESSOR DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NO CAPS: APROXIMAÇÕES INICIAIS

This article describes research conducted at Goiânia’s CAPS to examine the core features of the professional intervention in Physical Education. The research was conducted through participant observation of Physical Education teachers working at CAPS as well as experience accounts by three professionals who have been working at that institution for at least a year. They were collected as semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that there are approximations of the work developed by Physical Education teachers with CAPS’s principles and that despite relevant advances, professionals are still learning to deal with the new challenges.

FORMAÇÃO E INTERVENÇÃO PROFISSIONAL EM SAÚDE PÚBLICA: PERCEPÇÕES DE PROFISSIONAIS DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA

This article analyzes Physical Education professionals’ perceptions about their training processes and the effects on their performance on public health work in Goiânia, Brazil. We conducted interviews with nine workers from four institutions of the Municipal Health Department. The material collected was examined under content analysis with support from Webqda software. Rigorous data systematization was conducted under the theoretical and empirical saturation technique. Results showed that professionals see their initial training as traditional and technical, more focused on the field of sports initiation, physical activity, exercise, school/didactics and fitness centers rather than on the needs of public health services, thus creating weakness in that dimension of professional intervention.
