Title: The role of the body in learning and development of the Child
Abstract: The body and direct experience are the basis for learning of each one; it is necessary to start from them to generate knowledge. The school environment must be a welcoming place, capable of supporting and stimulating, where the teacher has a decisive role, as it has the possibility to involve children by providing creative and motivating notes. The school, even today, does not always reserve space for movement, understood not only as a didactic discipline to be performed during programming hours, but as a habitual practice, constant and repeated, transversal and applicable in everyday life. The literature review, carried out through the analysis of studies on preschool and school children, was used to scientifically verify the benefits and support that the body is able to offer, both for normotypical and disability, Confirming how motor skills, associated with appropriate movement, are to determine improvements in cognitive, physical, social and emotional.

Title: Il ruolo del corpo nell'apprendimento e nello sviluppo del bambino
Abstract: Il corpo e l'esperienza diretta sono alla base dell'apprendimento di ciascuno; è necessario partire da essi per generare conoscenza. L'ambiente scolastico deve essere un luogo accogliente, capace di sostenere e stimolare, in cui l'insegnante ha un ruolo determinante, potendo coinvolgere i bambini attraverso spunti creativi e motivanti. La scuola, ancora oggi, non sempre riserva spazio al movimento, inteso non solo come disciplina didattica da svolgere durante le ore di programmazione, ma come pratica abituale, costante e ripetuta, trasversale e applicabile nella vita quotidiana. La revisione della letteratura, condotta attraverso l'analisi di studi su bambini in età prescolare e scolare, è stata utilizzata per verificare scientificamente i benefici e il supporto che il corpo può offrire, sia nei casi di sviluppo neurotipico che in presenza di disabilità. Questo argomento conferma come le abilità motorie, associate a un movimento appropriato, siano determinanti per miglioramenti a livello cognitivo, fisico, sociale ed emotivo.

Title: Le rôle du corps dans l'apprentissage et le développement de l'enfant
Abstract: Le corps et l'expérience directe sont à la base de l'apprentissage de chacun ; il est nécessaire de partir d'eux pour générer des connaissances. L'environnement scolaire doit être un lieu accueillant, capable de soutenir et de stimuler, où l'enseignant joue un rôle déterminant, car il peut impliquer les enfants en proposant des approches créatives et motivantes. L'école, encore aujourd'hui, ne réserve pas toujours de place au mouvement, compris non seulement comme une discipline à enseigner durant les heures prévues, mais comme une pratique habituelle, constante et répétée, transversale et applicable à la vie quotidienne. La revue de la littérature, menée à partir de l'analyse d'études sur des enfants d'âge préscolaire et scolaire, a permis de vérifier scientifiquement les bénéfices et l'apport que le corps peut offrir, tant chez les enfants neurotypiques que ceux en situation de handicap. Cet argument confirme que les compétences motrices, associées à un mouvement approprié, peuvent entraîner des améliorations aux niveaux cognitif, physique, social et émotionnel.

Title: El papel del cuerpo en el aprendizaje y el desarrollo del niño
Abstract: El cuerpo y la experiencia directa constituyen la base del aprendizaje de cada persona; es necesario partir de ellos para generar conocimiento. El entorno escolar debe ser un espacio acogedor, capaz de apoyar y estimular, donde el docente desempeñe un papel decisivo, ya que puede implicar al alumnado ofreciendo propuestas creativas y motivadoras. La escuela, aún hoy, no siempre reserva un espacio para el movimiento, entendido no solo como una asignatura curricular que se imparte en horarios establecidos, sino como una práctica habitual, constante y repetida, transversal y aplicable a la vida cotidiana. La revisión de la literatura, realizada a través del análisis de estudios sobre niños en edad preescolar y escolar, se utilizó para verificar científicamente los beneficios y el apoyo que el cuerpo puede ofrecer, tanto en casos de desarrollo neurotípico como con discapacidad. Esta reflexión confirma que las habilidades motoras, asociadas a un movimiento adecuado, pueden generar mejoras a nivel cognitivo, físico, social y emocional.

Title: O papel do corpo na aprendizagem e no desenvolvimento da criança
Abstract: O corpo e a experiência direta são a base da aprendizagem de cada indivíduo; é necessário partir deles para gerar conhecimento. O ambiente escolar deve ser um espaço acolhedor, capaz de apoiar e estimular, onde o professor desempenha um papel decisivo, pois pode envolver as crianças oferecendo estímulos criativos e motivadores. A escola, ainda hoje, nem sempre reserva espaço para o movimento, entendido não apenas como uma disciplina didática a ser executada dentro da grade horária, mas como uma prática habitual, constante e repetida, transversal e aplicável à vida cotidiana. A revisão da literatura, realizada por meio da análise de estudos com crianças em idade pré-escolar e escolar, foi utilizada para verificar cientificamente os benefícios e o suporte que o corpo pode oferecer, tanto em casos de desenvolvimento neurotípico quanto de deficiência. Essa argumentação confirma que as habilidades motoras, associadas a um movimento adequado, contribuem para melhorias nos aspectos cognitivo, físico, social e emocional.
