Adventure Body Practices; Physical Education; Elementary School.
The theme of adventure is always present in different spaces in society. Lately, it is at
school and under the name of Adventure Body Practices that the National Common
Curricular Base (BNCC) guarantees the presence of this body practice as a
mandatory curricular component in Physical Education classes in Elementary School
II. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to implement a PCA thematic
unit in PE classes in the final years of elementary school. The research is qualitative
in nature, of the action research type, with an audience made up of students from a
Full-Time Municipal School, located in the city of Fortaleza/CE. The proposed
pedagogical intervention took place in a class in the 8th year of Elementary School II,
made up of 35 regularly enrolled students, who agreed to participate by signing the
image authorization terms, the Free and Informed Assent Term – TALE, on the part of
the students, and the Free and Informed Consent Form – TCLE, on the part of those
responsible. The didactic unit involving the PCAs was developed during Physical
Education classes in the third two months of 2023. As research instruments, a
questionnaire, field diary and recording of photos and videos were used in the
description and analysis of the intervention. Through the development of the study, it
was possible to verify the students' adherence to the school's physical education
classes, as well as identify the possibilities of inserting PCAs throughout the process
of implementing and evaluating the teaching unit.
