This is a qualitative study, descriptive type. The students answered for the question: What do you think is important in the physical education classes? Why? The answers were registered, written out, analyzed and interpreted. The results showed us that the most important apprenticeship content for the students in this semester was sport, confirming the permanence of sport in the physical education image, interpreted as a strong social representation component.
