Abstract

Physical Education teachers’ habitus in primary and secondary government-run and private schools in the municipality of Ivaiporã, Paraná state, Brazil, is investigated with regard to their professional development. A descriptive and qualitative research with eleven teachers was undertaken. Data were retrieved by a semi-structured interview, with content analysis (Bardin, 1977). Results showed that teachers share a class habitus, with similarities in  understanding, forms, difficulties, investments and incentives on professional development. Teachers should engage in a process of continuous education that goes beyond the development of technical skills but which also involves critique, self-awareness, autonomy and political commitment of the teacher in Education.
