CAPOEIRA UESC ONLINE

This paper aims to present a comprehensive experience report on the process of designing, implementing, and evaluating a 100% online teaching program at the Santa Cruz State University (UESC), developed during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic. This is a descriptive and exploratory experience report that uses a qualitative approach, including intensive and prolonged observation of the program with detailed records, which allow for in-depth interpretation and analysis of the data. An analysis of the program evaluations revealed accessibility that met the needs of a diverse audience in terms of Capoeira learning level. It was also observed that it is possible to learn both theoretical and practical knowledge of Capoeira in a virtual environment. In this way, the Capoeira UESC Online program played a significant role in the community, promoting physical activity and enriching the appreciation of African-based culture during the challenging period of the pandemic in 2021, while remaining in alignment with the fundamental objectives of the Art and Movement Group (GAM) Extension Project.
