Percussão corporal nas aulas de educação física: interrogações e intervenções centradas no desenvolvimento de atividades rítmicas e expressivas em uma escola de tempo integral.

Abstract

Body percussion is a practice that uses the body as a musical instrument, creating rhythms through beats, clicks, claps and other sounds produced by body movements. This practice, in addition to stimulating motor, cognitive and social skills, promotes body expression and creativity. Its importance in education, especially in Physical Education, goes beyond physical development, by integrating music, dance and body awareness, contributing to the student's comprehensive education. The general objective of our research is to investigate why body percussion is not present in school Physical Education classes, as an integral part of the rhythmic and expressive activities included in the BNCC. To this end, the research adopted a qualitative approach to pedagogical intervention, adopting as instruments questionnaires, interviews and conversation circles (Batuconversa) which we metaphorically call (sounds that come from the body and reverberate in ways of educating in this relationship between body and movement). The participants in the research were teachers and students from the Centro Educa Mais Prof. João Francisco Lisboa. Through these tools, we were able to understand the perceptions and difficulties faced by educators when implementing body percussion in their classes, in addition to presenting and exploring pedagogical possibilities and experiences for students at this school. Not only as an experiment, but also reflecting on the possible contributions of this content to the rhythmic and expressive development of high school students at a full-time school. The research showed that body percussion is a practice that is still little explored in Physical Education classes, but that it offers great potential for the development of motor, cognitive and social skills. The implementation of this practice can be an important pedagogical strategy for teaching rhythmic and expressive activities, offering students in state schools in Maranhão and especially in the city of São Luís a playful and creative way to express themselves and learn. This research resulted in a final product, a photo-sound album entitled “THE RHYTHM OF THE BODY”.
