MOTOR CREATIVITY AND LEARNING. BIODANZA SRT: AN EMBODIED CENTERED DIDACTIC

In the educational field, more and more studies emphasize the importance of the body in teaching / learning processes. The recent theory of Embodied Cognition has highlighted how most of the cognitive processes occur through the control systems of the body and how the incorporated knowledge predicts the dependence of cognitive processes on the sensorimotor system as assumed. This article aims to identify a conceptual framework which, by investigating the development of creative potential and its repercussions on the divergent thinking of children in learning situations, puts the educational perspective of laboratory teaching into dialogue, as a valid alternative to the traditional frontal lesson in able to involve the body in the teaching-learning process, and the Biodanza SRT System as an Embodied Centered teaching tool. The goal is to allow the development of training courses that constitute a meaningful educational experience for children that favors the development of creativity and creative movement as a source of cognitive, metacognitive learning, problem solving and decision making skills, interpersonal skills, communicative, emotional and social skills
