Do prescrito ao vivido: um estudo de caso sobre o projeto esportivo “bom de bola, bom na escola”

Abstract

The recognition of sport as a propulsive tool for positive socialization and / or social inclusion has been gaining more and more space in contemporary society, given the large number of social projects of a sporting character intended especially for children and young people who are in a situation of social vulnerability, increasing the chances of school failure and dropout. In this sense, the present research aimed to understand the influence of the sports project "Good ball, good in school" in the pro-social behavior of its participants. In methodological terms, the present investigation is characterized as a case study in the context of the aforementioned project, delineated by a descriptive qualitative approach. The results show that the main formsof performance of the project "Good ball, good in school" in the pro-social behavior of its participants are associated with the methodology used by the project coordinating teacher, which uses sport as a transforming agent in the promotion of respect forrules, collaboration, empathy, discipline, performance and inclusion, representing, in this way, an opportunity for personal growth, improvement of the physical and social skills of these participants, also collaborating for the exercise of citizenship ofthemselves. Thus, it is concluded that there is a syntony between what is predicted in the prescribed project with what is actually experienced by the social actors, since both Professor João and the project participants pointed out a set of developed values / virtues in the project, which go to the promotion of pro-social behavior.
