Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a percepção de competências de instrutores de atividades de aventura na natureza atuantes em Florianópolis (SC). Realizou-se uma pesquisa descritivo-exploratória e quantitativa. Participaram 22 instrutores (18 do sexo masculino e quatro do feminino), com idade média de 39,5±12,1 anos. Utilizou-se um questionário validado para este estudo, contendo 27 perguntas baseadas no modelo de competência profissional de Cheetham e Chivers (1996, 1998) e na norma 15285 da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (2005) sobre as competências necessárias aos instrutores. Para analisar os dados, aplicou-se a estatística descritiva. A maioria dos instrutores percebe dominar totalmente as competências cognitivas, funcionais, sociais, éticas e fatores relacionados (metacompetências, personalidade, reflexão, avaliação, empreendedorismo). Contudo, em todas há pelo menos um instrutor que percebe dominá-las parcialmente e há um que percebe não dominar duas competências funcionais relativas à segurança dos participantes. Um instrutor também acredita não dominar a capacidade de empreender.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the relations between the playful component and the process of rehabilitation, treatment, and promotion of health in the context of a group that treats the pain, located in Florianópolis (Brazil). METHODS: The research followed a qualitative approach, a descriptive-exploratory field research. A matrix-guided systematic observation was conducted for two months by the group leader, two volunteers and about 15 participants. A field diary was used to register complementary information. Besides two semi-structured interview guides were used, applied to four members and the person responsible for the group after the two-month observational period. The data were organized and analyzed in three topics: "Characterization of the investigated group and dynamics of the meetings," "The group as healing potential" and "Lian Gong/Qi Gong as a possibility to look at the pain." RESULTS: The participants pointed out that working on Lian Gong/ Qi Gong, meditation and auriculotherapy contemplating the playful component the group becomes a place of recognition of each one's pain subjectivity, by the individual that suffers and by the collective, which has fostered the recovery of specific pain and good sensations to those involved, such as happiness, enthusiasm and pleasure. CONCLUSION: The creation of the group and people's engagement has decreased the number of specific requests for physiotherapy sessions and provided greater autonomy to the participants to handle their own pain.
RESUmoEste estudo apresenta as ressonâncias da participação da comissão organizadora de um projeto de ensino sobre questões socioambientais, desenvolvido em uma universidade pública de Santa Catarina, no contexto de cursos de Educação Física e Fisioterapia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa dos dados. Ao final do projeto, 13 participantes responderam a um questionário misto. Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam, dentre outras questões, que os participantes perceberam contribuições do projeto para aprender mais sobre o tema ambiente e para vislumbrar novas possibilidades para sua atuação profissional. Além disso, perceberam frequentemente a manifestação de competências profissionais.
In attempting to predict the impact of major ecological or climatic change on livelihoods, insights can be gained by looking at communities who experience extreme seasonal or annual variation. Here, we compare the ecology, economy, and social network of a community of traditional fishers in the Brazilian Pantanal between the dry season and the flood season in which their wetland ecosystem is transformed. Using data derived from satellite imaging we show that during the flood season of 2019 the total amount of open water accessible to fishers more than doubled and led to drastic qualitative changes. We show that although fishers adapted to this extreme seasonality by changing where, how, and what they fish between seasons, the structure of the social network in our study community did not differ. We argue that strong networks are especially important in social-ecological systems with extreme seasonal changes. More generally, we suggest that case studies of seasonal adaptation such as ours can contribute to a broader understanding of how communities may be able to successfully adapt to novel social-ecological changes.
Os trabalhos coreográficos tidos como dança contemporânea abrangem diversas possibilidades, geram dúvidas, discussões e contradições. Nessa perspectiva, verificou-se o conceito de dança contemporânea a partir dos trabalhos apresentados por grupos de dança nos eventos na cidade de Campo Grande – MS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que o conceito de dança contemporânea que os participantes possuem gira em torno das palavras-chave: biológico, estudo, expressividade, pluralidade, técnica e transformação. Ratificando que a dança contemporânea é uma linguagem que possibilita diversos outros estudos e interdisciplinaridade, restando aos envolvidos o interesse em desdobrá-la.
The set aside of protected areas is one of the pillars of initiatives focused on nature conservation. Studies seeking a broader understanding of the relation between human well-being and protected areas are key to support a social-ecological balance these initiatives. In this paper, we sought to understand, through interviewers structured around the concepts of freedom, security, heath, and social relations, the extent to which protected areas in the Pantanal have impacted the lives of two riverine communities in the region. We show that both communities were negatively impacted in all axes of well-being evaluated. However, each group experienced the impacts differently, depending on the process of creation, category and management strategy of each protected area. We also show that people see economic, social, and ecological positive aspects of the protected areas. Broader understanding about well-being, as applied in this study, allow us to better uncover the relation between human / nature and the potential for effective participation of traditional communities.
