Abstract
For the majority of Brazilian adults, remind the School Physical Education, let them remember the traditional sports worked as important content in the classes. As a school teacher, we fell some needs to investigate if this social representation of the adults remains on the students mind. So, this paper aims at investigating what are appreciated contents in the school physical education. The samples were eighty seven, which are students from sixth to ninth grade of elementary school, in the first semester, at private school, located in the east of the São Paulo City. 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. Well-being and physical development had been mentioned few times than sports. From these results, it is possible to reflect on the reasons that the others physical education contents no yet attained the students as the same importance that sports.
