Physical Education and Sports Studies

The objective of this study was to analyze the understanding of school physical education (SPE) students and teachers about the causes and restrictions that imply the content of fights in 6th and 7th-year elementary school classes in public schools in Tucuruí-PA-Brazil. 40 6th and 7th-grade students from two public schools and two teachers participated in the research. A descriptive-cross-sectional study was carried out on the content of fights at school. The results showed that teachers teach fight content and preferably use playful activities; they believe that it should be included in early childhood education and that it does not generate violence. As for the students, although they participate in the classes, they do not seem to be attractive; many consider that the way the content is taught can generate violence. In conclusion, fighting content can positively influence student performance and learning when taught at EFE. However, the teacher must understand and face this content's difficulties and controversies to teach classes theoretically and practically with creativity because there are still gaps between what teachers do and what students expect from the content.
