STIMULATE FORMATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS THROUGH AN EXPERIMENTAL MOTOR EDUCATION PROPOSAL “FOR ALL”

The aim of this research work is to emphasize the importance of motor education in people’s formation, starting from primary school (Sibilio & Aiello, 2011). Currently, the school hours allocated to this discipline are not sufficient enough to express its real potential role in the effective physical, social and educational development, therefore it is very important to improve the educational planning (Gomez Paloma, Agrillo & D'Anna, 2013). In this regard, this work proposes an experimental motor education program “for all” to be developed in just 20 hours in primary schools, with the aim of increasing the educational level of young students (including a disabled) in five key thematic areas (Callea et al, 2008; Herrmann, Gerlach & Seelig, 2015): Movements coordination and orientation in space and time; Recognizing the different parts of one' s own body and that of others; Peer cooperation in teamwork; Individual and environmental well-being; Expressing emotions through body movement and face expression; The research methodology is based on an empirical and observational approach, in line with the main studies in the pedagogical field, which allows analyzing in detail the progress made by the students from a motor, social-relational and educational point of view (López-Pastor et al, 2013; McKenzie et al, 2010; Morgan & Hansen, 2008). The results are measured by means of an evaluation protocol that is applied both before and after the administration of the experimental project, in order to estimate if an educational development in relation to the positive grade variation can be observed. The research carried out fulfills the starting research purpose set, and is the basis for future studies in the field of educational sciences, aimed at the growth of the individual through a suitable didactic motor education program in the school system.
