ABSTRACT. Based on the theme of life stories, this article, an excerpt from a doctoral research, aims to analyze the formative trajectories of retired Physical Education teachers. The research, developed from 2014 to 2017, used in-depth and open interviews and document analysis. The process of construction of the themes of analysis considered the data themselves - referring to the teaching knowledge that emerged from the extra-school, school, training and professional trajectories of the teachers - and made real the possibility of apprehending several stories in the same life story. To make the cut, we present reflections subsidized by elements of extra-school, school life and professional training of the participants. The results portray the situations experienced by the participants and how these situations were defined by them, as well as contribute to the understanding of the teaching reality through the analysis of their life stories. Among some results, we affirm that the elements identified allow a reflection on the knowledge that emerged from the different trajectories of retired teachers. This knowledge should be considered in the initial training courses in Physical Education with a focus on professional performance, also in the early years. Likewise, they favor public policies for teacher training, since they were elucidated based on the contributions of life stories and Physical Education.

Keywords : formative trajectories; retired teachers; Physical Education; teaching knowledge.
