CASSANI, Juliana Martins; FERREIRA NETO, Amarílio; CARVALHO, Lucas Oliveira Rodrigues de  and  SANTOS, Wagner dos. Foundations for physical education: biology and psychology in periodical press about teaching and techniques (1932-1960). Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.24, e240060.  Epub Nov 26, 2019.

It analyzes the practices of author’s appropriation of the theories of biology and psychology in the periodical press of education and techniques (1932-1960). It has, as a source, the Revista de Educação Física (Journal of Physical Education) and Revista Educação Physica (Physical Education Journal), and uses, as theoretical and methodological assumptions, the concepts of analysis through materiality and appropriation practices. These articles provided the basis for the process of schooling of physical education, constituting it as modern, rational and scientific. The publication of this list of knowledge sought to form a new conception of teacher, showing him the need to know the characteristics of the students, so that the exercises were properly dosed. These theories were appropriated and materialized in reading devices, with the purpose of orienting the teacher in relation to the teaching of the discipline. The research indicates that the dialogue with biology and psychology implies the production of a practical theory for physical education.

Keywords : physical education; theoretical basis; periodical press.
