OLIVEIRA, Myllena Camargo de  and  JAEGER, Angelita Alice. Team sports and teacher training: power relations and resistance among students. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.69, e-33612.  Epub Dec 19, 2023. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2023v61n69id33612.

Our aim is to analyze gender relations and, specifically, exercises of power and resistance that emerge among students in team sports classes in a Physical Education teacher formation program. The research is ethnographically inspired and involved the participation of 86 students. The research sources were produced by observations of classes in Physical Education teacher formation - education program, recorded in a field diary, through focus groups and interviews, both recorded on a digital device and transcribed in full. The analyses, conducted with assistance of Nvivo 12 software, were anchored in Foucauldian, gender, and feminist studies, and indicate that students reproduce the traditional sports canon in which most men occupy privileged positions, while women are relegated to secondary positions. Nevertheless, many women and some men create resistance to access, remain in and transform the classroom context, requiring teachers to use inclusive pedagogical strategies, and provide equitable experiences in teacher formation.

Keywords : Gender; Power; Sports; Teacher formation.
