Description
PHYSICAL EDUCATION FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERSPECTIVE
Book Summary
This work presents an innovative educational project that integrates Physical Education with Environmental Education. Through a quarterly structure, the reader will discover how to work on health, recycling, and multiculturalism through practical teaching units. The book offers a complete intervention proposal, including the construction of recycled materials and collaboration with external agents such as the Red Cross or senior centers. It is an essential guide for teachers seeking a transversal, sustainable, and socially committed approach in their Physical Education classes.
What is it about?
The work develops a pedagogical project structured into three fundamental axes, each linked to a school term. The first axis, health, is addressed during the first term with units focused on first aid, featuring the participation of the Red Cross. The second axis, recycling, extends throughout all three terms and is materialized in the construction of materials to work on throwing, catching, sensory games, traditional games, and activities in the natural environment. The third axis, multiculturalism, is developed in the final term and includes the voluntary collaboration of people from the municipality's senior citizens' center. The book includes an introductory section, a theoretical framework, a detailed intervention proposal, conclusions, and a bibliography.
