SCHOOLS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY: PROPOSALS FOR MOTOR SCIENCES DIDACTICS

Abstract

The COVID-19 health emergency has presented us with a complex scenario leading to a sudden reorganization of the model and goals of the national education system.  Teachers and students have had to rediscover a new meaning in their daily meetings, carried out no longer in the classrooms but in virtual environments. The challenge has been even more difficult for Motor Sciences teachers, who have had to give continuity to their educational action by sacrificing sports and motor skills, a key component of this discipline. The need to rethink didactics, by adapting it to the current situation, can however provide an opportunity to make an active contribution and turn the difficulties into opportunities, allowing this discipline to emerge from the marginal position in which it has been relegated, and rediscover a new centrality in the educational project.
