COSTA, Adelson Almeida da  and  MOURA, Diego Luz. CONSENSUS ON THE TEACHING OF ATHLETICS AT SCHOOL BASED ON THE PERCEPTION OF SPECIALISTS. Revista LES [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.58, 5392.  Epub Mar 28, 2025. ISSN 2526-8449.  https://doi.org/10.26694/rles.v28i58.5392.

Although athletics is a traditional sport in Physical Education curricula, knowledge related to teaching this sport has never been well defined. This lack of definition can be seen in the BNCC which, despite being a document with the force of law, establishes little specificity about what to teach in athletics classes. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the consensus on the teaching of athletics at school from the perspective of specialists. The methodology used was the delphi technique. As instruments for data collection, open interviews and a Likert questionnaire were used. The research sample is composed of 28 specialists with academic experience and as a coach/referee or as an athletics athlete in official competitions. The selection of participants occurred through the snowball technique and its finalization by saturation. Data were analyzed using the simple descriptive statistical analysis method. Experts pointed out that athletics needs to be experienced as specific content, and not as preparation for other sports. And they pointed out the need for basic education teachers (EB) to use different strategies to enable greater interaction between students and enable greater participation in classes. Among these strategies, playfulness and group work stand out. The results showed that the main difficulty in working on athletics at school is in pedagogical training of physical education teachers. Experts demand greater space for athletics in the basic education curriculum and a thematic unit for the sport at BNCC.
