The objective of the research was to understand the pedagogical strategies mediated by a professor in an undergraduate school in Physical Education in the implementation of Sport Education (SE) to develop knowledge about Artistic Gymnastics (AG) from the Freirean pedagogical proposal. Action research was used as a qualitative research method, with the implementation of the pedagogical process developed in twelve weeks, with the participation of the research professor and 17 students. The data were collected weekly and included: pedagogical documentation produced during the course; field diaries written by the professor at the end of each meeting; discussions with a critical friend during the development of the educational process; conducting focus groups after the entire process. Thematic Analysis was used for data treatment. The results indicated that the three pedagogical strategies built were fundamental for the implementation of the SE in AG: the Performance of different functions, the Dynamics of the design and the Co-creation of the code of points. This set of strategies characterizes a pedagogical mediation consistent with Paulo Freire's pedagogical proposal, by evidencing fundamental knowledge inherent to the ethical nature of a liberating educational practice, which are: Reading the world, Investigating spirit, Stimulus to autonomy, Horizontality, Problematization and (Re)construction of (new) knowledge.
