Adventure education activities are used in many countries as a mean for interpersonal and intrapersonal development. The activities have a great appeal to children and teenagers, and, because of their identified benefits, have been introduced, in several forms, in schools around the world. Navigation and rope courses are often used as part of the programs of adventure education. One of the methods of introducing adventure education in schools is through the physical education lessons. Because we consider that students from Romania could also benefit from these activities we have built a pilot adventure education program, selecting and adapting activities so that they fit the Romanian physical education requirements.
REZUMAT. Introducerea activităților specifice educației prin aventură în lecția de educație fizică. Activitățile specifice educației prin aventură sunt folosite în multe țări ca mijloc de dezvoltare interpersonală și intrapersonală. Activitățiile îi atrag pe copii și tineri, și, datorită beneficiilor identificate, au fost introduse sub diferite forme în școli din întrega lume. Orientarea și traseele de frânghii sunt adesea folosite ca parte a programelor de educație prin aventură. Una din căile prin care educația prin aventură este introdusă în școli este lecția de educație fizică. Pentru că considerăm că elevii din România ar putea și ei să beneficieze de pe urma acestor activități, am construit un program de educație prin aventură pilot, selectând și adaptând activități astfel încât acestea să se potrivească cu cerințele pe care sistemul românesc le are din parte educației fizice.
Cuvinte cheie: educație prin aventură, educație fizică, inițiative, trasee suspendate de frânghii, orientare sportivă.
