THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN STIMULATING SCHOOL INCLUSION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOTOR SKILLS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL
Abstract
School inclusion is one of the main contemporary educational challenges. Physical education represents a powerful tool to promote inclusion, providing a space where not only motor skills but also social and relational competences are developed. This experimental study analyzes the effect of physical education on the promotion of inclusion in primary school using TGMD-2 to assess motor skill development and SPSI to measure the level of perceived inclusion. A 12-week physical education program was implemented in an Italian primary school, and the results indicate a significant improvement in both motor skill development and the level of social inclusion.
