INTEGRAL EDUCATION METHODOLOGY
At Bola Para Frente, Integral Education servesas a driver for our programs and projects,which use this course as a basis for thecontent covered in class. Thus, the Instituteapplies an active development methodologyfocused on the student, disseminated throughthe Perfect Crossing Program and its projects,working with the aim of ensuring that children,adolescents, young people and communitieshave, at the end of the pedagogical trainingcourse, the skills that constitute them asautonomous beings capable of acting andcontributing to the transformation of theworld.
Integral Education is a process of human developmentwhose objective is the continued training of theindividual. To achieve this, a pedagogical training pathis used covering five dimensions of development:physical, social, emotional, cultural and intellectual. Inthis sense, integral education considers the student asthe center of its action, assuming an active position ofautonomy in its teaching-learning process.Furthermore, Integral Education considers the differentactors involved in the education of the student, such asschool, territory, family, friends and educators, whotogether make up and direct a complete process ofhuman development. Therefore, Integral Educationstands out as a complete methodology that occurs allthe time, throughout life and in all spaces.
At Instituto Bola Pra Frente, sport is a language and,for this reason, “Perfect Crossing” was designed as aguiding program for all projects that take place at theInstitution, preserving the particularities of the actions,but being guided by this intentionality. The PerfectCrossing Program aims to pass on knowledge from onearea to another, creating a harmonious play betweensport, education and culture, enabling full interactionbetween the educator and the student, complementingeach other in favor of integral development ofparticipants.
In this way, all Perfect Crossing Program projects arebased on the development of skills and abilities, whichencourage students to build their life path, focusing onautonomy, freedom and social protagonism, in line withthe National Common Curricular Base.
Integral education is the central axis of any and allactions linked to the Program, as it guarantees thedevelopment of participants in all its dimensions,whether intellectual, physical, emotional, social andcultural, through activities linked to education, sportand culture, which are essential for its fulldevelopment and application.
The different areas of knowledge are respected in theirspecificities, but they do not fail to dialogue with different thematicaxes covered by the program, since the objective is to enhancediscussions, research and reflections. Thus, in all projects, studentsare encouraged to know, create, discuss and practice the differentways of experiencing the educational, sporting and cultural world.
At Perfect Crossing, our methodology believes that play helps in theprocess of breaking through socio-emotional blocks. In this sense,the creativity resulting from fantasy and realization facilitatesabsorption during the teaching-learning process. A creative beingcontributes to human development by observing the world andcriticizing, becoming a transformative agent who expresses himselfin different ways, with the aim of spreading ideas, having fun andinfluencing attitudes and behaviors. For this to happen, systematiccontact with recreational activities and their different languages isessential. Given this, education and sport, within a pedagogicalprocess, are intertwined, since sport is part of brazilian culture.
The "Perfect Crossing - Playing a Big Game" project aims to directlybenefit children and teenagers living in Complexo do Muquiço, servingstudents from the public school system who attend the project's classesafter school, with three-hour activities divided into two stages adaptedaccording to the age groups of the beneficiary students.
