Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of a study on how students build memories in School’s Physical Education classes. To this end, we seek to discuss how youth and gender inequalities in high school can affect teenage girls and influence them into excluding these classes. The investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with sixty 3rd year high school students, in six public schools and six private schools in Pernambuco. The study reveals that the students' experiences are marked by a process of gender inequality, which is strenghted by the absence of teacher’s intervention.
