A política educacional do esporte e o centro de iniciação desportiva no Distrito Federal: um estudo sobre gestão educacional

Abstract

The Federal District's Center of Sport Initiation Project (CID) is an educational sports policy with more than three decades, organized by the Federal District's State Secretary of Education. It serves students from the public net of education in after-school hours and aims at providing them with experience in the corporal and motor culture, by means of engaging them in sports modalities. In view of such context, this study proposes to analyze the relation established between the educational management and the educational role of the CID in the researched schools, considering the field of educational public policies. In this regard, it discusses the perspectives of this sports educational policy, revisiting its historical background by means of the Brazilian sports legal bases from the decade of 1980. Moreover, the study approaches its pedagogical proposal and financial landmarks, as well as the ones related to dissemination of its social, educational sports role. Methodologically, the research was developed by means of a qualitative approach, supported by a documentary analysis and by the conducting of semi-structured interviews. The collected data was studied from a perspective of analysis of educational policies in three dimensions: the cognitive, the instrumental, and the normative one. The results showed that the CID, from its creation, was based on a concept of competitive and high-performance sport. When advancing in the research, it was perceived, in light of the educational and school management, a perspective of pedagogical reorientation of the CID, by means of the proposal of the school hubs’ Political-Pedagogical Project (PPP) and the engagement of the involved ones in the process of collective and integrated construction. The reorientation can confer to the CID the improvement of its political, educational, and overall political-pedagogical role, in times in which public policies become a guarantee instrument of democratic, constitutional rights.
