PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER IDENTITY: A NARRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW

ABSTRACT

The identity study has long been gaining new paradigms, even generating identity crises. The aim of the study was to find publications on this theme in Brazilian studies, with the intention of discussing the process of (re)construction of the identity of the Physical Education Teacher. A narrative review of the literature was carried out, to discuss along with the themes of conceptual identity theory, contributions to the construction of teacher identity, and the identity of the physical education teacher. Given the findings, it is worth saying that the current scenario requires a more reflective debate on the direction and development of the professional identity of the physical education teacher. In relation to scientific literature, there is still much to be studied, as it was possible to identify some limitations in studies on identity, such as, for example, the lack of consensus on the definition and conceptualization of the identity of the physical education teacher, which may hinder comparison and generalization of future results. It is hoped that researchers and public and private organizations will pay attention to the necessary care regarding teacher training, as well as any professional development, and that these findings will gain space in discussions related to the professional identity of the physical education teacher.
