Inteligência corporal-cinestésica e educação física escolar: relações e possibilidades para a identificação do aluno com altas habilidades/superdotação

Abstract

The objective of the present research was to identify what has been produced in the field of Physical Education about students with high abilities/giftedness (HA/G) with a prevalence in Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence. HA/G Subjects are considered a target audience for Special Education, having guaranteed the legal right to attend regular school and receive the necessary support, according to their educational needs. The identification of HA/G considers that these subjects must present above-average potential in any of the areas of learning domain, combined or isolated, which may be intellectual, academic, leadership, psychomotricity and arts (BRASIL, 2008). From that moment on, it is considered that this process can be eminently educational and is characterized by the set of characteristics subsidized by objective measures, supported by subjective and theoretical procedures such as the Theory of the Three Rings (RENZULLI, 1986), which deals with of the intersection of creative skills, task involvement and above-average ability interposed in the student's areas of interest. Thus, some concerns arose, which pervade the importance of this context with regard to the recognition and identification of characteristics in the area of Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence and its relations with School Physical Education. When analyzing the scientific works found, it was possible to verify the lack of studies that contemplated the recognition of subjects with HA/G with prevalence in Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence. 4 (four) works were analyzed covering the area of HA/G through the process of recognition of the characteristics in the school context. In this sense, it should be noted that there is a certain concern with clarifying the student's characteristics, raising awareness among teachers and possibilities of standardized instruments linked to the theme of HA/G and, mainly, Corporal-Kinesthetic Intelligence for identification in the area of Physical Education at school.
