The contribution of technologies for learning and development of motor skills in early age
No full textThe diffusion of technologies in the school curriculum solicits every discipline to identify, in its structure, essential themes and methods of use, in accordance with the motivation of the students. The use to technologies expresses an opportunity for expanding disciplinary teaching that follows sociocultural evolution, mobilizing students’ interests, skills and abilities, generating an educational continuity of environments and skills. This work aims to present a review of studies published between 2013 and 2018, which highlights the contribution of technologies to promote motor competences in developmental age and the assessment of levels of physical activity. The analysis of the literature, through various databases and search engines, has brought out multiple directions of study and applications and the need for shared methodological guideline

No full textPhysical Literacy (PL) has gained popularity and progressive importance worldwide in recent years,
contributing to the definition of paths in educational research, internal and external school projects,
connections with sports, and other educational contexts. PL has been described as a gateway to physical
activityparticipation across different ages and educational settings such as schools, sports, leisure time, and
the healthsector for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases.
In many countries, not only in Europe, models of PL are now present, with varying degrees of definition,
characterizing not only interpretations of education through physicality and motor and sports activities but
alsothe level of institutional presence and impact. Various studies have recently been published expressing
syntheses and positions on the topic.
In a time when various technologies are often at the forefront of attention for studying their real
contribution to the educational and learning process, it is crucial not to overlook the importance of physical
literacy in the lives of children and youth. PL goes beyond motor and sports skills or the development of
physical efficiency,framing itself as an educational process, a teaching model, a methodological approach,
and a lifestyle.
Physical literacy encompasses motivations, confidence, motor skills, knowledge, and awareness that enable
the maintenance of a physically active lifestyle. A student possessing a high level of physical literacy can move
with motor mastery consciously and creatively (Whitehead, 2013)
Più sedentari e meno forti: risultati dell’Osservatorio Regionale in Puglia sul declino delle capacità motorie in giovani adolescenti
Full text linkThis study aims to evaluate the evolution of motor abilities in young adolescents in Lecce comparing motor performance in 1990 and 2020. The assessment of motor skills was carried out by proposing the following tests: long jump from standstill and throwing of the medicine ball 2kg. The results showed that motor performance in 1990 is significantly higher than in 2020, regardless of gender and BMI, the percentage of overweight/obese children increased significantly from 1990 to 2020
Il contributo delle tecnologie per la promozione della salute attraverso le attività corporeo-motorie
Full text linkLe complesse trasformazioni socioculturali del XXI° secolo hanno generato nuove e diverse modalità di accesso alle conoscenze e la progressiva modifica delle relazioni interpersonali. I bambini di oggi, alla ricerca di novità, conoscenze e scoperta di nuovi contesti ludici, vivono sempre più a contatto con videogiochi e dispositivi tecnologici, manifestando un nuovo modo di approcciarsi alla realtà e di relazionarsi con essa in modo virtuale. Inoltre, molteplici indirizzi di ricerca sono rivolti allo studio dei possibili campi di applicazione e integrazione delle tecnologie in età evolutiva nell'ambito dei processi educativi, della formazione scolastica e professionale, dell'avviamento allo sport, e, più in generale, di tutti quei processi legati la promozione della salute. In questo campo, gli strumenti tecnologici e multimediali sono estremamente eterogenei (videogiochi educativi, tecnologia indossabile, software e App, visori di realtà aumentata, console videoludiche, ecc.), in cui confluiscono gli interessi di diversi ambiti disciplinari, dalla pedagogia sperimentale e la psicologia, alla fisiologia, passando per le scienze motorie e sportive. Proprio nell'ambito delle scienze motorie, e più in particolare per quanto riguarda le esperienze che il bambino vive, sperimenta ed esegue con il corpo e attraverso il corpo durante l'infanzia e la prima adolescenza, le tecnologie rappresentano un mezzo per arricchire ulteriormente l'ambiente in cui il bambino gioca, si diverte, si muove. L'aumento del sovrappeso e dell'obesità, conseguente alla riduzione dei livelli di attività fisica e alla progressiva adozione di stili di vita sedentari (anche in relazione all'eccessivo utilizzo delle tecnologie), richiede interventi didattici orientati a migliorare la qualità e la quantità delle opportunità per praticare attività fisica in bambini e adolescenti. fl presente progetto di Dottorato si colloca, pertanto, nell'ambito della ricerca educativa, in cui il ricercatore, partendo da una ben definita domanda di ricerca, prova a fornire risposte innovative, utilizzando strumenti e metodologie proprie del metodo scientifico, a problemi pedagogici al fine di migliorare i processi di insegnamento-apprendimento. La ricerca, quindi, non è fine a sé stessa, ma tende a sottolineare e valorizzare i contesti e le dimensioni sociali e culturali dei fenomeni oggetto di studio
PHYSICAL LITERACY: DEFINITION AND DIDACTIC-METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES. TOWARDS AN ITALIAN MODEL?
Full text linkThe multiple definitions of Physical Literacy (PL) show how scientific research proceeds, frequently, in a fragmented and not unitary way, with studies and experiences not always in mutual relation and continuity, adopting, often, an analytical and not global approach to the educational process. The scientific evidence emphasized the educational and pedagogical role of motor activities as "accelerator of processes" for the physical, cognitive, emotional-relational and social child’s development. This contribution aims, starting from the definition of the disciplinary and intervention areas of the PL, to analyze some European and extra-European theoretical-organizational models, to propose, finally, some educational and methodological approaches with which to translate PL into practice
Evolution of the motor abilities and physical activity levels of primary school children in relation to body mass index. An observatory on motor development.
No full textThe increasing prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is a global trend deal with higher risk of health problems in the immediate, short and long term. Increased inactivity and reduced physical activity, which has important implications for epidemic obesity and emergence of risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in youth, has been emphasized by recent finding (Malina, 2014). Physical inactivity causes an increase in BMI, a reduction in the levels of physical activity (Schwarzfischer et al., 2017) and a consequent reduction of motor performances.
Sport and PA participation are important factors both to improve physical health and performance, and to enhance psychological and social health outcomes. The promotion of healthy lifestyle in children, in opposition to during sedentary behaviour, and LPA to MVPA in children is advocated in school, home, and community settings.
The purpose of the study is to assess the evolution of motor abilities, strength, motor coordination and physical activity levels of primary school children’s in relation to BMI.
Apart from the descriptive statistics (M±DS), Student's T Test was carried out, in order to highlight the significant differences within the groups (p <.05). The results showed significant differences in the two groups (Nw vs Ow-Ob) to 8,9,10 y. and in all motor tests and self-report (p<.05).
The group ow-ob underlined lower motor performances and physical activity levels compared to nw group (8,9,10 yr). The males and females showed an evolution of the performances in three years, but not in physical activity levels.
Systematic analysis of motor skills and motor abilities during childhood and levels of physical activity are the most important research goals in motor sciences. Cultural contest, school organization, use of new technologies, parenting styles in regard to daily motor activity, influence amount and quality of children’s motor activities.
Recent findings highlights: (a) the relation among phyical activity and overweight, fitness and overweight and the reverse relation between daily and weekly physical activity and obesity; (b) reverse relations between physical efficiency and overweight and the mediation effects among BMI, fitness and PA.
High levels of BMI seems to be the reason or the effect of low physical activity levels, implicating low fitness levels. Cross sectional and longitudinal studies are needed in order to monitor motor development, physical activity levels, related psychological factors and effects of health behaviour interventions for the promotion of motor activities
Il progetto “Sbam!”: una possibile traiettoria pedagogica per l’educazione motoria attraverso il gioco
No full textNell’ambito dei processi di sviluppo e apprendimento motorio, il gioco assume un ruolo fondamentale nel processo educativo di ogni persona. È ricorrente in ogni cultura e coinvolge la corporeità attraverso l’attività motoria, diventando l’origine e la confluenza di esperienze essenziali e in dispensabili per il bambino. Allo stesso tempo, le ridotte opportunità di praticare attività fisica e giocare determinano l’aumento delle abitudini se dentarie, del sovrappeso e dell’obesità in età evolutiva. Pertanto, il presente studio intende descrivere i risultati di un intervento sperimentale basato sul gioco sullo sviluppo delle capacità motorie (forza, resistenza e coordinazio ne) e dei fattori correlati alla pratica di attività motoria (self-perception e divertimento) in un gruppo di bambini normopeso e sovrappeso-obeso
HEALTH PROMOTING SCHOOLS: MODEL-BASED PRACTICES IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Full text linkThe practice based on pedagogical-didactic models allows for overcoming the limitations of the traditional approach to physical and sports education, offering solutions to promote various learning modes and teaching strategies that foster educational values. Recent studies highlight a redefinition of the epistemological constraints and the formative values of disciplines, which can be traced back to multiple theoretical and theoretical-practical approaches. Multicomponent interventions for health promotion, carried out in educational contexts, require a thorough analysis of educational-didactic models, motor tasks, and methodologies. The aim of the study is to identify recurring educational-didactic models in the literature to guide the design and assessment of teaching. The didactic process for the Quality of Physical Education requires the identification of interdisciplinary scientific models, which are not synonymous with teaching methods or styles, but rather the cultural and formative references
