The aim of this work was to understand how the discipline of Human Anatomy is taught during the formation of the Physical Education professional, nine teachers who work at universities in São Paulo and its metropolitan area were observed and interviewed. The main characteristics observed during these teachers’ pedagogic actions were gathered in an analytical matrix aiming at understanding the established phenomenon. After the associations were established between the procedures carried out by the analyzed subjects and the theoretical foundation proposed by David Ausubel’s Theory, it was observed that this discipline is developed without considering the essential elements that allow the Significative Learning and, therefore, it has been collaborated little for the professional formation, as it adopts a pedagogical model based on contents represented by the accumulation of information disconnected from the reality and the academic and professional needs that are associated with Physical Education.
