Synopsis

(2nd paperback edition, 2013) “This text is a real first in its chosen subject matter, to which later works will always make reference" (Dr. Nicholas Ford, author [with David Brown] of "Surfing and Social Theory: the experience, embodiment and narrative of the dream glide", Routledge, 2006). This work is an academic analysis on the pedagogy of surfing, conducted by a team of researchers linked to the Motor Behavior and Biomechanics Laboratory at the Rio de Janeiro State University. Academic literature in the theme of surfing and physical education has been reviewed in order to provide surfing instructors with a scientific rationale to enable students with an oriented consciousness mastering in the practice of the sport. At this very moment our main concern relates to the results of our research, which to us indicate that the pedagogical approach currently adopted worldwide in the teaching of the sport seems to be leading apprentices to certain critical misconceptions in terms of the main maritime hazards and safety limits involved in the process of acquainting with the surf environment. Up to now we have been unable to find, neither in Brazil nor internationally, technical-scientific works addressing the pedagogy of surfing which may have been published in the form of books. References to our study include scientific publications on sports pedagogy, didactics, motor learning, sports physiology, sports training, anatomy, biomechanics, social imaginary, oceanography, marine biology and military training, besides a few journalistic, artistic, literary works focusing on the sport of surfing. Our project was primarily designed as a means for theoretical and practical referencing to professionals who work in the teaching of surfing (physical education teachers/students and surfing instructors in general), in that its Portuguese edition also aims to elicit the instrumentalization of surfing in behalf of the Rio de Janeiro State Military Fire Brigade on its Maritime Rescuing Basic Training. Our methodological structure dismisses direct physical/inappropriate verbal assistance in the teaching process; alternatively, we present strategies and means to elicit the state of nature as the main index to ensure individual restrictions to be respected, and the most appropriate formal precise pedagogical actions to be identified with regard to the maximization of the overall efficacy and efficiency on the pedagogical process. Brief presentation of the authors: (1) Bruno Ferreira Alves Castello da Costa -> Industrial Engineer by the Rio de Janeiro Federal University, Physical Education Teacher by the Rio de Janeiro State University; (2) Gabriel Gueiros Nunes -> Physical Education Teacher by the Rio de Janeiro State University; (3) Rafael Barçante Ladvocat Cintra -> Physical Education Teacher by the Rio de Janeiro State University; (4) Luiz Alberto Batista -> Physical Education Teacher by the Rio de Janeiro State University, Master of Science in Education by the Rio de Janeiro Fluminense Federal University and Doctor of Philosophy in Sports Sciences by the Porto University (Portugal). LANGUAGE ADVISORY: This book has been written by Brazilian Portuguese native speakers who have strived to develop a decent English version moved by the belief it becomes paramount, at this time, to facilitate the dissemination of our hypothesis also to non-Portuguese speakers, in a pursuit to alert as many Physical Education professionals and surfing enthusiasts as possible of a few significant maritime safety risks we have found to be involved in the current state of the art in the pedagogy of surfing - proofreading suggestions, as well as customer reviews, are welcome.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Bruno F. A. Castello da Costa: "I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1979. Son to an industrial engineer, grandson to a military engineer, I graduated from Industrial Engineering at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2002, and from Physical Education at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ) in 2005. I picked up surfing in the late 1980's, early 1990's, and have since developed great fascination and respect for the Maritime Divisions of the Rio de Janeiro State Military Fire Brigade (CBMERJ). In February of 2005 I started working at a friend's surfing school. Since my first day as an instructor, I felt quite uncomfortable with the teaching procedures I was supposed to provide students with. I could sadly realize that the experiences students were going through had very little to do with the memories I had from the times when my old-time friends and I were beginners ourselves. So I spent time studying surfing schools in Hawaii (2005/06), training with and learning from the CBMERJ 2nd Maritime Division (2006), and developing an academic approach to the research – with my colleagues at UERJ’s Motor Behavior & Biomechanics Laboratory – while continuing to teach my own students on the beach (2007/10). During that time, I was determined to develop a teaching structure which would allow students to experiment with a more natural pedagogical progression on the acquisition of their intimacy with the beach environment. I suspected that instructors should adopt a different perspective in the teaching-learning process. I eventually invited the other 3 authors to join me on the research, as I found their work to hold interesting complementary evidence to help sustain my hypothesis. Rather than protecting students from the environmental hazards, we want them to study those hazards, and to learn how to explore those opportunities to develop their skills and human capacities, in a natural-pace familiarization process with their surroundings, eventually leading to the phenomenon of consciousness mastering in the practice of the sport. On the long term, we hope the results of our research to be examined, corroborated, criticized and filtered to the point of allowing Brazilian schools to include some basic maritime educational contents on their School Physical Education programs."
