What Faculdade de Educação Física e Dança - Fefd/UFG does

Faculdade de Educação Física e Dança - FEFD/UFG is a public higher education faculty unit within the Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), located on the Samambaia campus in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. The faculty delivers undergraduate programs in Physical Education (both Licenciatura for teacher training and Bacharelado for sport and health professional preparation) and Dance (Licenciatura), alongside two graduate programs — the academic PPGEF Master's and the professional PROEF Master's (the latter operating as part of a national network). Both graduate programs received CAPES Nota 4 in the 2026 quadrennial evaluation. The faculty also operates research groups, specialized laboratories, two academic journals (Revista Pensar a Prática and Revista Mosaico), a pedagogical resource series for school physical education, and the Centro de Práticas Corporais (CPC) community extension center.

The business model is that of a publicly funded federal university unit: there are no tuition fees, and operational funding flows from Brazilian federal government budget allocations via the Ministry of Education, allocated to UFG and distributed internally. Students are admitted through the national SISU system using ENEM examination scores — a single, highly standardized channel. Outreach occurs through UFG/FEFD institutional social media, an active news/website content channel, and hosting of academic congresses. The unit also engages in community extension and continuing education activities as part of its public university mandate.

Governance and administrative infrastructure are entirely provided by the parent institution UFG, including the SEI electronic information system for administrative processes, Moodle Ipê as the learning management system, and Eduroam Wi-Fi. The faculty is government-owned, has no private investors, no commercial subsidiaries, and no proprietary technology products. In May 2026 the unit reverted its name from FEFD (Educação Física e Dança) back to FEF (Educação Física). 2025 marked 25 years of operation, commemorated with an institutional seal.
