Il corpo e il movimento nella ricerca didattica. Il potenziale formativo dell’esperienza motoria e ludico-sportiva

This doctoral thesis is a report on three years of scientific studies and experiences on "Methodology of educational research"; the interest in educational and formative aspects of motor and sport-play activities during childhood and preadolescence has been characteristics of research activities. Has been conducted a study on the transferability of knowledge in relation to the motor and sport-play experiences, offering a complex area of investigation that relates the fields of the mechanisms of access to knowledge and knowledge construction, and to those of bodily experiences during motor and sport-play practice in primary schools. The research activity is based on the assumption that the body and movement in its various forms of motor, sports and play activities, in primary schools can play an original role in the identification of alternative access to knowledge. The aim of the research project was to verify, through a theoretical argumentative approach and later realizing an action research, the function of teaching methods centered on motor experience for access to knowledge in segment of the primary school. The research has developed both the theoretical-argumentative and experimental phase, based on the study of teaching movement activities and highlighting the complexities and specific requests from educational settings, including the study of the educational, integrative and inclusive dimension of physical education. ..
