MEDEIROS, Daniele Cristina Carqueijeiro de; DALBEN, André and SOARES, Carmen Lúcia. Education through sports in São Paulo city (1920-1936). Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e065. Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-65.
Two different processes constituted the education through sport in the city of São Paulo, between 1920 and 1936. There was the consolidation of sporting clubs, and, in parallel, the creation of “Departamento de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo” (DEF-SP) in 1931, to manage actions in the sporting area. This article analyzes the debate between these institutions and investigate the disputes around the legitimacy of São Paulo’s sport, especially in youth education. Methodologically, this is a documental research with magazines, journals, congress annals, and set of legislation as sources. This article shows that both of them intended to legitimize in their directives the educational dimension of sports; although, there was not a meaningful dialogue between private and public institutions towards this common goals.
