O Esporte na Natureza e a Sistematização das Práticas de Aventura na Educação Física Escolar

Abstract

The formative processes of Brazilian physical education teachers address the bodily practices of adventure in some initial and continuing teacher education courses. In this article, we investigated the theme in the context of the physical education degree course at the Federal University of Ceará, in northeastern Brazil, with students who participated in the pedagogical residency program. The objective is to identify how adventure bodily practices are associated with sports, as a cultural element, and the environmental themes from the lesson plans prepared by scholarship students from the pedagogical residency program in physical education. The methodology is guided by the qualitative research approach, with descriptive characteristics, and theoretically subsidized by a thematic convergence proposal, based on the survey of 17 lesson plans that addressed the systematization of adventure bodily practices. We identified five adventure sports for elementary and high school, with predominance, respectively, of skateboarding, parkour, slackline, surfing and paintball in the theme of the classes. As a result, we found that the proposal can guide teachers when planning their classes regarding adventure practices, adding different perspectives in the theoretical and methodological field of physical education. The findings allowed us to understand, foremost, the convergence between adventure practices and the environmental demands.
