Importancia de la educación física en los proyectos pedagógicos de la educación superior angolana. Importance of Physical Education in pedagogical projects in Angolan higher education

Abstract

The purpose of this contribution is to reflect on the importance of physical education, its generalization in the design and execution of pedagogical projects of careers in Angolan higher education. Among its antecedents are the researches carried out in this sector by the authors Silva (2009) (training of professionals) and Carvalho (2012) (evolution and growth of Angolan higher education), although hardly in their work they refer to the inclusion and role of the physical education subject in the training of undergraduate students. The methodology used included the theoretical methods (analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive, comparison and historical-logical), empirical (analysis of documents) and interview and survey techniques. One of the results obtained consists of a theoretical-methodological proposal for the design of pedagogical projects of careers, and the argumentation of the need to include physical education from an innovative perspective in the study plans of the universities Kimpa Vita, LuejiA’Nkonde, Catholic of Angola, as well as in the Higher Institute of Education Sciences.By way of conclusions, it is recommended to continue deepening the subject, in other research, given the accelerated growth of higher education institutions in Angola and the benefits that may arise from it, if that proposal is concretized in practice.
