Games of the Federal Institutes as an educational aggregator

an experience report developed at IFAP - Amapá.

Abstract

Sport is a phenomenon capable of influencing their lives in various ways and in different aspects, physical, cognitive, and social. In relation to school performance, we can emphasize that it has a variety of determinants for it to happen or improve. In this study, we sought to analyze through the experiences lived with the participation in the games, the contributing factors positively and negatively for the improvement of students' development. For that, we had as main objective to report the experiences acquired during the participations in the games of the Federal Institutes, the positive and negative factors experienced in this process. The study was carried out at the Federal Institute of Amapá, IFAP, with technical and vocational high school students who participated in the Institute's teams from 2016 to 2018, being a qualitative, descriptive, and characterized as an experience report. For the treatment of the data, the experiences experienced by the teachers during the participation in the games of the Federal Institutes, Stage State and North, were used. From this analysis, we diagnose the positive and negative factors of participation in the games and the possible interferences to be made to improve this participation of the students. The reports presented here will support the theoretical discussion in depth in dialogue with existing literature. In this way, we conclude that the participation of students in training and games, can rather be a factor that aggregates biopsychosocial values that make these students improve their school performance and become better people inside and outside the school environment.
