Class Socio-historical Analysis of Football

This Curricular Unit aims to introduce the student into the problem of historical and social knowledge of football. Being a social phenomenon, football needs to be understood in its temporality, in its short, medium and long duration, in order to understand its continuities and discontinuities. The study of what is known cannot be separated from what is already known. The non-understanding of the processes of change distort the knowledge of reality. With this curricular unit it is intended to awaken the student to the usefulness of learning from what has already been done (social and historical experience) to better build what we have to do (project). Thus, it is intended to promote critical thinking, develop an attitude of weighting and openness to dialogue, avoiding the danger of common sense and dogmatism(s).

To achieve the learning, we organized the process by integrating active methodologies. This entire teaching-learning process is structured in such a way as to require students to actively participate in the construction of their knowledge process.

Student participation involves the completion of tasks that require:

- Individual research. Students are confronted with situations that appeal to the need to know how to individually try to answer the doubts that are asked throughout the classes;

- Group search. Students are confronted with situations that appeal to the need for cooperative learning.

-Debates. The students are confronted with situations that require the confrontation of ideas, the development of critical thinking.

In the different problem situations, the student has to express his/her knowledge orally and in writing.
