Special Issue Introduction:

It is now widely accepted that Physical Education plays a leading role in the development of motor, psychological and social behaviors in preschool and primary school children. For these reasons, the structured development of children through physical activity continues to be an emerging theme of special interest to contemporary society.

 

Due to the constant technological evolution, the need emerges to adjust the subject's curricula in schools with innovative and captivating contents that accompany this evolution and enhance the students' teaching-learning process. In this sense, technological evolution calls for its insertion in the curricular reformulations that are in progress. Even so, for the transition to be efficient, it is also necessary for teachers to be equipped with didactic and pedagogical skills to enhance these transformations.

 

The purpose of this Special Issue of RPPE is to deepen research on innovative teaching models in Physical Education that encourage the development of healthy habits, enhance the development of motor behavior, cognitive skills, decision-making abilities and social inclusion. In addition, it also aims to deepen knowledge about training processes for teachers using innovative methodologies.

 

Manuscripts describing innovative teaching models and methodologies as an alternative to traditional methods are highly recommended. Research related to practical evidence of the benefits of using innovative methodologies are also recommended, as well as proposals for training programs for teachers with an emphasis on technological integration in the teaching process. In this Special Issue, both of original research and review are encouraged. We believe that this Special Issue may be of great interest for the development of Physical Education teaching in Preschool and Primary Education.

 

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Physical education: didactic and methodological dimensions of teaching

- Pedagogical didactic recommendations for the transition between study cycles

- Learning theories and innovative pedagogical development models

- Analysis and development of strategies to encourage the practice of physical activity using technological innovation.

- Benefits of the use and technological resources for the promotion of health and well-being in Preschool and Primary Education
