THE INCLUSIVE VALUE OF MOTOR EDUCATION AT SCHOOL

The history and value of physical education from an inclusive point of view differs based on the ideology of the Nation. In Italy, starting from the seventies, pupils suffering from disabilities, regardless of their health conditions, participate in physical activities together with all children. The aim of this work is to demonstrate, through a study carried out in a primary school in the province of Bari, the inclusive potential of physical education in schools. Specifically, 7 motor education teachers from 4 primary schools were selected, and the effort they had to make to include pupils with difficulties in a general motor education context was observed and evaluated.
