Abstract

The aim of this study was to verify how the principle of Ethics and its components (dialogue, respect, justice and solidarity) can be developed into the Physical Education curriculum, especially through games. This research was carried out from the perspective of qualitative approach and action research. Data was gathered from meetings and personal interviews with five Physical Education teachers. Results indicated that the meetings helped teachers to think about Ethics as a theme to be intentionally developed in their classes, from verbal reports of teacher’s experience of playing games, and description of games application that were noticed as possible ways to develop ethical questions, ‘pique-bandeira’ and ‘base quatro’, for example. The final interview revealed that teachers followed thinking about Ethics and that they tried to discuss questions related to this theme even after the meetings.
