The purpose of this article is to underline the extent to which Motor Activity is connected to Education and how much, especially regarding young practitioners, teachers and trainers need to develop a Pedagogical Culture. This need arises from the observation, underlined by numerous authors, that it is desirable to reinterpret educational contexts and above all it is necessary to adopt more transdisciplinary, plural, multi-perspective approaches to face the modern challenges of educational action. It is therefore essential for the educator to have an approach and a culture that contemplate different fields, because this type of intervention method can prove to be much more coherent in relation to the complexity of modern society. Starting from the assumption that the approach in the educational field focuses more and more on practices, which integrate and complete the philosophical aspects of education, Motor Activity can become a winning card in the hands of educators, provided that the values conveyed through the teaching of sports practice are framed in a context of promotion and enhancement of the human person as a whole, and not only in the mere aspect of physical performance. This type of approach is among the main topics of study of Sport Pedagogy, which is having an ever greater development in educational contexts precisely because of its applicability and simplicity of dissemination. At the center of the educational project is the care of the human person, through motor education: this is not a mere technical sport aspect, but a real educational system.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to underline the extent to which Motor Activity is connected to Education and how much, especially regarding young practitioners, teachers and trainers need to develop a Pedagogical Culture. This need arises from the observation, underlined by numerous authors, that it is desirable to reinterpret educational contexts and above all it is necessary to adopt more transdisciplinary, plural, multi-perspective approaches to face the modern challenges of educational action. It is therefore essential for the educator to have an approach and a culture that contemplate different fields, because this type of intervention method can prove to be much more coherent in relation to the complexity of modern society. Starting from the assumption that the approach in the educational field focuses more and more on practices, which integrate and complete the philosophical aspects of education, Motor Activity can become a winning card in the hands of educators, provided that the values conveyed through the teaching of sports practice are framed in a context of promotion and enhancement of the human person as a whole, and not only in the mere aspect of physical performance. This type of approach is among the main topics of study of Sport Pedagogy, which is having an ever greater development in educational contexts precisely because of its applicability and simplicity of dissemination. At the center of the educational project is the care of the human person, through motor education: this is not a mere technical sport aspect, but a real educational system.
