Description
Summary:The present article seeks to describe the trajectory of theoretical methodological decisions and the challenges regarding the use of ethnography in a study on the daily curricular experience of a Physical Education school. It is important to highlight the process that involved the procedures to carry out the study; the implications of the choice of ethnography as a methodological theoretical reference; the initiation to ethnography; and the process of field research resulting from monitoring the curricular routine for a whole school year. It finds that ethnography enhances the understanding of the curriculum as a social construction.
