Percepção de estudantes sobre a criação de jogos nas aulas de Educação Física

The purpose of this article was to describe and analyze the students\u0027 perception of the experience of creating and experiencing games in physical education classes. 56 students, between 8 and 10 years old, participated in a school in the city of Sao Paulo and two physical education teachers. The perceptions and reactions of students in this game creation project were obtained by two instruments: a) Observation of classes and construction of field diary and b) Collective dialogue with students at the end of the intervention, both analyzed qualitatively. In the students\u0027 reports, the feeling of happiness was present as well as the visibility gained by receiving praise from their colleagues. They also mentioned the challenge in mediating conflicts and postures in the group. A wide variety of learning forms are identified here due to the student\u0027s role as a result of this dialogical relationship between creating the game, communicating the game and experiencing the game.
