Pedagogical intervention in Physical Education as a centrality in PROEF-UPE

initial approximations

Abstract

This article aims to present the development of the National Network Professional Master's Program in Physical Education - PROEF, highlighting the accumulated institutional experience and evidencing its challenges and possibilities in the training process, whose central focus is pedagogical intervention. In 2018, we started the first class with 10 students, and today we are in the sixth class, welcoming 22 students in 2025. Thus, by 2025, we have four graduate classes and two ongoing classes. Since 2018, PROEF UPE has brought together 101 teacher-researchers, distributed across 6 classes and coming from various educational backgrounds, providing empirical evidence of different issues in Physical Education that were already noted in the literature and academic debates, but that gained concreteness through dialogue with them. Beyond the submission of the Dissertation, it is necessary to develop an Educational Resource, which is understood as a technical-scientific production resulting from the materialization of the pedagogical intervention. It is notable and legitimate that PROEF strengthens the continuing education of teachers working in the public school system in Brazil, promoting the improvement of teaching practice and contributing to the enhancement of public education quality.
