ADVENTURE BODILY PRACTICES IN HIGH SCHOOL: THE GUIDANCE RACE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES

High school. Physical education. Orienteering race.

This research aims to build a theoretical-practical foundation of
orienteering applied to high school physical education, in a public school
located in the city of Monte Alegre/RN, named Escola Estadual Professor
Gaspar, through a participant-type methodological perspective, within a
qualitative approach to field study. As a research question, we inquire how to
include adventure physical practices in high school, through orienteering in
physical education classes. We start by investigating a real context experienced
in this school, with a group of 45 students from a 2nd-year class in the
afternoon session. We will use a field notebook as a research tool, recording
observed facts; planning orienteering pedagogical practices with the execution
of lesson plans; participant observation, and the administration of a
questionnaire at the end of the didactic unit. The literature review is organized
into three subheadings: 2.1 School Physical Education and High School; 2.2
Adventure Physical Practices and the Context of Orienteering; 2.3 Orienteering
in High School, at School. Following the initial procedures with authorizations
from the school and parents of underage students and others for proper
clarification, we continue to build supportive references for subsequent data
analysis. As an educational product resulting from this research, we aim to offer
educational material that allows its dissemination by physical education
professionals, enabling the implementation of another content, thus diversifying
access to new knowledge of body movement culture in a concrete manner.
