The educational purposes of Physical Education - curricular dialogues between Brazil and Portugal

Abstract Aim: The paper aims to analyse the educational purposes of Physical Education (PE) present in the national documents and programmes created in Brazil and Portugal that are geared towards its teaching in elementary schools. Methods: Since the research is of a theoretical-conceptual, documentary type character, content analysis was used to identify the category matrices of the sources analysed. Results: The results suggest approaches and specific features in skills development which are analysed and discussed based on the scientific production of the area’s academic-professional field. The predominance of operational competencies is limited towards practicing PE activities, which is consistent with the pedagogical theory of competency formation. Conclusion: This concept maintains that tacit knowledge and sensory experiences are essential for performance. However, the implementation of cognitive and affective competencies are important tools for performance, particularly with adolescent students.

**研究目标**：本研究旨在分析巴西与葡萄牙两国面向小学体育教学制定的国家文件及课程方案中所蕴含的体育（Physical Education, PE）教育目标。
**研究方法**：本研究属于理论概念性文献研究，采用内容分析法对所分析文献的类别矩阵进行识别。
**研究结果**：研究结果揭示了技能培养的不同路径与具体特征，并结合该领域学术专业场域的科研成果展开分析与讨论。体育活动实践维度的操作型能力占比存在局限，这与能力养成的教育学理论相契合。
**研究结论**：该理论主张，隐性知识与感官体验对运动表现至关重要。不过，认知与情感型能力的培育同样是提升表现的重要工具，针对青少年学生群体而言尤为关键。
