Mapping affections in experiences with nature with undergraduate Physical Education students enrolled in PIBID

Abstract

We had a triggering question: how are undergraduate students, participating in the Federal Government's Institutional Teaching Initiation Program (PIBID), are they affected by the aesthetic experience when they put themselves in the place of apprentice-teachers? From this, the objectives that emerged during the immersion in the field were: to describe the subjects' ways of engaging with nature, to monitor emerging emotions, to understand how the environment affects group relationships, and to map the mediator-participant relationship. The aesthetic perspective, anchored in Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, theoretically underpins the study, which is characterized as an exercise in cartographic method. The most intense emotions arose from memories, fears, trust, and feeling like a child, which generated joy and nostalgia. The mediator was a provocateur of openings.
