Abstract

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.
