CASSANI, JULIANA MARTINS; FERREIRA NETO, AMARÍLIO  and  SANTOS, WAGNER DOS. EUGENIST AND SOCIAL HYGIENE HUMAN FORMATION PROJECTS: PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN MAGAZINES (1932-1960). Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e218568.  Epub July 29, 2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698218568.

The article aims to understand the guidelines for Physical Education teaching based on eugenicist and social hygiene training projects. We used as sources the Revista Educação Física (230 articles) and Revista Educação Physica (405 articles). The concepts of materiality analysis and appropriation practices are used as theoretical assumptions. The results indicate that the writers’ dialogue with the principles of eugenics and social hygiene was related to the editorial profiles of the magazines, in a negotiation scenario related to the formation perspectives assumed by them. This theorizing conferred scientificity to Physical Education and supported the publication of prescriptions that would guide training and teaching practice. In the sources, theory and practice were intertwined, thus, the magazines are didactic-pedagogical devices, contributing to the insertion and consolidation of Physical Education in school curriculum.

Keywords : Physical Education; eugenics; hygiene; magazine; prescriptions.
