Desenvolvimento humano integral: contribuições da psicomotricidade

Abstract

Theories about human development and psychomotricity present us with a way of understanding the subject as a global being. Realizing the scarcity of the discussion on this subject in letters, as well as our experiences in the classroom in undergraduate and the need to better understand human development, we come to the problematic, namely, to what extent the psychomotricity stimulates the development integral part of the person contributed to educational processes in general. In order to respond to this initial concern, this study aimed to understand integral human development through the contributions of psychomotricity, briefly reflecting on its relation with the educational field. The theoretical basis of this study was given mainly by perspectives about human development and a selection of studies on psychomotricity in the field of education. The study consisted of a qualitative, bibliographical research, of an exploratory character, through which it was possible to obtain a basic knowledge about the subject. The results point to an understanding of the importance of psychomotricity as a theory and method of approach to integral human development and education. We thus see how this knowledge can contribute to the pedagogical practice of the educator.
