The representation of Physical Education in the 18th season of a TV series called "Malhação"

This research focuses on the professional image of physical education on TV series considering the reputation it has acquired over the past few years. The study aims at investigating some meanings given for Physical Education classes in the eighteenth season of "Malhação". The method used was Discourse Analysis. The results showed that the classes were built based on different sports for boys and girls, focusing on technical execution of the movements. Also, the difficulty of the teacher to deal with issues beyond technical approaches was noticed. The casting of an old man to play the role of a physical education teacher could be considered an interesting and original matter; however, it did not remain in the following seasons.

本研究聚焦电视剧场景中的体育教育（Physical Education）职业形象，着眼于其近年所积累的行业声誉。本研究旨在探析《Malhação》第十八季中体育课堂所承载的多重内涵。本研究采用的研究方法为话语分析（Discourse Analysis）。研究结果表明，该季剧集为男女学生设置了差异化的体育项目，并以动作的技术规范执行为教学核心。同时，研究发现体育教师难以应对超出技术教学范畴的各类问题。由老年男演员饰演体育教师的选角设定，颇具新意与趣味性，但该设定并未在后续季数中延续。
