SANTOLIN, Cezar Barbosa  and  KAIZER, Cibele Denise. Physical Education and national examination of student performance (NESP): profile of the tests from 2004 to 2017. Rev. Motriviv.

The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of the tests applied in the National Examination of Student Performance (NESP) in the area of Physical Education between the years 2004 to 2017. Eight tests were analyzed in relation to the general structure and content knowledge issues. Thematic content analysis was used to categorize the issues, applying up to three labels in each. The labels were grouped into categories according to thematic proximity. The results were quantified with descriptive statistics and presented in tables. The analysis allowed to conclude that structurally the tests maintained a great homogeneity, whereas in the content of the questions there was considerable specificity with the qualifications. The degree offered less thematic diversity, with much of the content composed of the pedagogical dimension - both in objective and discursive issues. It was concluded that the profile of the exam allowed an easy description and a good preparation.
