Psychomotor skills: the body discourse in school

Abstract

Psychomotricity is an area of corporal intervention for health professionals and education. In the field of education, Psychomotricity acts mainly in the development of children, allowing the child to experience their corporeality, their individuality, their relationship with each other, communication. The practice of psychomotor intervention can act in an instrumental and / or relational way. The article proposes to analyze the embodied action of the teacher in the school that works with the Psychomotor Education based on a relational basis. To act with the body is to give life to the human dimension in its entirety, because personal history is registered in the flesh. We can say that the body expresses the whole trajectory of personal history. The subject who learns in Psychomotricity is understood by the teacher, like the one in his possibility to grow, to create, to learn, to develop. The student needs to use his own resources. This learning condition is possible when you conceive the other as an example and possibility of inspiration; this is the place of the teacher, an inexhaustible source of stimulation. Your body, your speech, your expression, your behavior, can contribute to autonomy and independence.
