Abstract

FONSECA, Rubiane Giovani  and  LARA, Larissa Michelle. Values and attributes of the profession from the perspective of physical education tudents. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.1, pp.91-102. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v37i1.19714.

Current investigation shows how the university formation process contributes towards the development of the idea of the professional by students through the identification of concepts and through attributes relevant to future performance. Features related to the profession (values and rules to be followed), to intervention subjects (behaviors and attitudes of students or professionals) and to professional activities (characteristics linked to the activities´ specificity) were identified by the Focal Group technique employed by Physical Education students at the State University of Maringá, Maringá PR Brazil. Analyses of the research involving students show that the professional formation stance within the BA course in Physical Education is determined by the ability to evaluate and judge the procedures and values that will be part of the activities and not merely by knowledge of the scientific content.
