The aim of this research was to analyze how the qualification of Physical Education professionals happens. Those professionals are the ones working in the first years of grade schools. Firstly, a study of the legislation and of the directives for the qualification in Physical Education and Pedagogy courses was made. We tried to answer the question: who should teach Physical Education classes in the first years of grade schools? Next, an analysis of curriculums of two Physical Education graduation courses was made. We also proceeded with interviews with four professionals of grade schools. These professionals had graduated in the same universities where the curriculums were analyzed. We also applied a questionnaire to five professionals, called do-it-all . Those professionals work at the Municipal Educational System. Their responsibility is to develop classes in Physical Education. As theoretical references related to the qualification of professionals in the area, we applied reflections of SOARES 919920, ISAYAMA (2003), FREIRE (2005), MOREIRA (2001), among others. The data analyzed show the necessity of our careful look at curriculums, and also at the syllabuses of physical education graduation courses. Although these graduations offer baccalaureate and teaching courses, they are not prepared to offer satisfactory qualification for the ones interested in working in the first levels of grade schools, i.e.: the levels in which students range from 6 to 10 years of age. Professionals interviewed stated that, in fact, they lacked not only thorough background for a more efficient practice, but also a relevant accepted theory for the subject. The importance of Physical Education in infancy is unquestionable, but the possibilities of its ampler development are, among other things, subjected to basic economic questions, giving us the impression that a more generalist qualification in graduation courses reduces costs proportionally, public policies in some cities follow the same principles.(AU)
