This study presents the evaluation and validation of an educational product titled "Psychomotor Activities at School," developed within the scope of the PPGEneb Graduate Program. The main objective was to analyze teachers’ perceptions regarding the relevance, practicality, and contribution of the material to pedagogical practice. The methodology employed a mixed-methods approach, involving 51 teachers, primarily from the public sector, who evaluated the material through a structured online questionnaire on Google Forms. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in SPSS software, while the qualitative data were processed using IRAMUTEQ software, which employed word cloud analysis and similarity analysis techniques. The results indicated that the product was very well received, with over 80% of participants agreeing with its relevance, clarity, and ability to add value to teachers’ knowledge. The material was perceived as a practical resource that provides guidance and promotes pedagogical intentionality. It is concluded that the educational product fulfills its pedagogical purpose by strengthening teachers’ autonomy and enhancing the planning of psychomotor activities in the school context.
