摘要：This study investigates meanings ascribed to football, considering out-of-school experiences and pedagogical mediations established with elementary school students. Data show that children’s relationship with knowledge and learning combine previous and external elements to experiences shared at school, associated to family, income, consumption, the media, gender, exclusion, skills, fun, fame, performance, health, pain, fear, free time and recognition of Physical Education as a school subject. These elements, which are basic to children’s relationship with knowledge, indicate the need for considering their statements as central for planning, mediating the production of new meanings for football in and out of school.
