LEARNING ITINERARIES AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF THE BODY AND MOVEMENT

Pompilio Cusano

Abstract


This contribution aims to emphasize the role of the Body and its action through movement as a fundamental focus of the evolutionary and formative process because they allow the growth and global maturation of the person, favoring awareness of the value of the body and the structuring of indispensable personality characteristics, such as the conquest of autonomy, the construction of personal identity and the acquisition of skills.The motor and sport experience, in fact, as a place of discovery of one's own riches, potential and expressive-creative capacity, allows the individual to express his being in the world and his essence not only through the forms of thought but also and above all through the ways of moving, seeing, perceiving, and doing. It is according to this assumption that, the educational approach in the context of motor activity seeks to outline a field of intervention mainly aimed at the growth and learning of the person throughout the span of his formative growth from the beginning of the school experience, considering fundamental the unity between “psyche” and “action”, between "actions" of the mind and "actions" of the body.
