The course aims to analyze the role that the body plays in individual and collective training through the examination of the most significant theories developed by different pedagogical approaches. In particular, the emphasis will be on the educational aspects of the image of the body that society currently proposes. Educational action is based on a system whose objectives are the formation and realization of the person, with the concretization of his slopes and with a balanced relationship with others.
With the study of Psychomotor Education the student will be able to achieve the following training objectives.
In terms of knowledge and comprehension:
- define and identify the epistemological and methodological field of the discipline;
- analyse the most significant theories elaborated by the different pedagogical approaches.
In terms of ability to apply knowledge and understanding:
- understand the role of the body in individual and collective training;
- analyse best practices in the European context.
In terms of autonomy of judgement:
- Identify the essential traits of psychomotor education for training and personal fulfilment;
- Evaluate educational actions in terms of a balanced relationship with others.
In terms of communication skills:
- Interact in social contexts;
- designing educational actions in groups.
In terms of learning capacity:
- Exercise willingness to scientific research in different contexts;
- be able to access the relevant scientific literature.

Neuro-motor experience and experimentation is the basis of every somatic, emotional, emotional, relational and social maturation and growth process. From the infinitely large of the external world, even before birth, the baby uses the body to relate to himself and the world around him, making all possible sensory experiences his own through emotions, incising them in the infinitely small of his neuronal synapses and therefore transforming them into neuro-motor learning.
Growing up through sensory experiences and therefore their perceptual functions, the new individual is able to experience the surrounding environment, define its boundaries, the possibilities and limits of action of its body by communicating at the somato-psychic level with its genome and allowing the epigenetic modulation of this as a phenotypic response to the motor and emotional stresses in which it grows.
With play (relationship with objects and the environment and people) and movement not only achieves and perfects important skills such as balance, concentration, attention, physical skills, but also awareness or one's identity bodily (somato-esthetic and somato-sensory) and therefore emotional-relational acquiring awareness of one's own entity with and communicating with others.
A fundamental prerequisite of psychomotor education is the global consideration in childhood and adolescence, in a holistic dimension, of its Mind-body unity and the understanding of the purpose of psychomotor action even in the case where there are physiological differences and defects. aspects and elements of anatomy and physio-pathology and movement disorders from childhood, adolescence and young adult according to the Biological Aesthetic Structural Model (MSEB, Villanova M., 2006).
