The Conversation Wheel as a Formative Activity in the Soccer of Chapecoense

Abstract

Language occupies a prominent place in the humanization of the subject, as it promotes specific aspects of human development that are constitutive of consciousness. It enables dialogism whose main characteristic is to conceive the unity of the world in multiple voices, which participate in the dialogue of life, as well as employing meaning to the different dialogical marks that are evidenced through statements. Statements that intersect in circles of conversation. Based on these premises, this research aims to discuss the formative aspects of pedagogical practices with verbal language, in conversation circles, between the pedagogue and athletes from the base categories of Associação Chapecoense de Futebol (ACF). Qualitative and ethnographic in nature, the research was developed by reading the bibliography in the area and analyzing three rounds of conversation held with athletes from the ACF's Sub 15 and Sub 17 categories. Based on the dialogue between studies on cultural-historical psychology, by Vygotski and the dialogic perspective of language, by Bakhtin, reflections were established on the possibilities of expression of athletes and the way in which these subjects' voices are situated in the formative process of the conversation circle, object of this research. Finally, the basic concept of verbal interaction was emphasized, by which cultural appropriations and the constitutiveness of language are given, as conditions for the humanization of fundamental elements, in Non-Formal Education, as the athletes' accommodation space is named, spaces these linked to the importance of listening to the subject, to allow the meeting of dissonant voices in the circle and to consider the integral formation of these athletes.
