Realidade e possibilidade na produção de teses em Educação Física: crítica ao lógico e ao histórico nas produções do conhecimento científico nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação no estado da Bahia (2004-2020)

Abstract

This investigation is located in the line of research in Education, Body Culture and Leisure, of the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) of the Faculty of Education (FACED) of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA); was produced by the Research Group in Physical Education, Sport and Leisure (LEPEL) and is located in the axis of knowledge production of the matrix research of the referred group. The synthesis question that guided the research was: in the concrete reality of the structural crisis of capital, which historically feeds the development of a given logic to produce science, what logical foundations support the production of theses by professors/researchers in Graduate Programs of Education in Bahia (2004-2020) and what are the possibilities of the logic established in scientific production to advance beyond the interests of capital? The thesis was based on two essential foundations: 1) The logical foundations that support the Physical Education theses produced by teachers/researchers in PPG in education in the state of Bahia, considering the period from 2004 to 2020, suffer determinations arising from the crisis capital and its injunctions, with epistemological implications, such as the retreat of theory, ontological skepticism and epistemological relativism, fed by foundations of formal logic, on the one hand, and the valorization of theory, ontology and objective truth, fed by dialectical logic, on the other hand, which express the more general dispute over society's projects; 2) The production of knowledge stricto sensu in Physical Education, in view of the contribution of science production beyond capital, necessary to transform the social praxis of class society, towards transition, requires a change in the logic of science production, whose indicators of possibilities can be identified from the analysis of the production of Physical Education theses produced by teachers/researchers in PPG in education in the state of Bahia, which take as input the foundations of dialectical logic, which allows to apprehend the real movement and concrete objective reality. The analysis procedures were based on Kosik's notes: (1976, p. 37), Thorough historical appropriation of the object with full mastery of the investigated material; Analysis of ways of developing investigative material on the object; Investigation of the object's internal coherence. We conclude, therefore, by stating in theory that in a capitalist society with antagonistic interests between the working class and the bourgeoisie, science does not constitute an area of ideological neutrality; on the contrary, it is a field of increasingly fierce disputes, given the deepening of the contradictions of the imperialist phase of capital, which generates strong implications for the area of Science and Technology; These disputes are developed through different mediations such as the legal framework, politics and the logic of knowledge production. In the scope of the logic of knowledge production of theses in Physical Education in the state of Bahia, this dispute is given in the confrontation between the formal logic and the dialectical logic of producing science, in which the latter presents indicators of possibility for a production of knowledge beyond capital, in the line of transition towards the socialist historical project.
