RESUMO

Abstract The aim of this study is to show how people with physical disabilities are represented and how their participation is configured in Physical Education textbook images. The study is empiric, descriptive and comparative among analyzed books. The sample consisted of 929 photographs from Physical Education textbooks, published from 2006 to 2012 and used on basic and high school teaching in Brazil. The method used was to analyze the content through the elaboration of an ad hoc coding scheme. The trial test, consultation with experts, and intercoder reliability tests are the demarcation criteria used to support the observation tool. The software SPSS 19.0 was used for statistic analysis. Univariate and bivariate analysis were performed and the Pearson Chi-square test with a significance level of 5% was applied. The representation of disabled people in Physical Education textbooks images is virtually invisible and biased. People with physical disabilities are represented on high-performance competitive sport contexts. The participation of this group is limited to specific non-inclusive physical activities and distant from educational or useful scopes. Physically disabled women are scarcely represented on textbooks images. The kinds of disability shown on those images are far from the traditional stereotype that associate disability with the use of a wheelchair.
