Abstract

This study investigated the effects of racism and racial prejudice during the initial training in Physical Education in the three skills that today are offered by the Federal University of Uberlândia (Licentiate/Bachelor degree, Bachelor degree and Licentiate degree). This study aimed to understand what are the perceptions of racism and racial prejudice of students who declared themselves as black men and women, and how they handle with possible situations of prejudice during the training process. The methodology used was case study of qualitative approach, with the instruments for the production of questionnaires and structured interviews data. Data were analyzed from the characterization of the social profile of participants and interviews problematized in two. 1ª) Definitions and 2ª) Experiencies. The results allow us to understand that few students have conceptual definitions on racism and racial prejudice that can characterize situations suffered or witnessed for a possible confrontation. Also that the employees are sensitive to realize suffered discrimination situations and / or witnessed in the course of graduation, which demonstrates that racism and racial prejudice accompany the students during the initial training process.
