La enseñanza de la expresión corporal en el sistema educativo español. Recorrido histórico

Abstract

In this article we wish to clarify information on the historical and educational background of body expression as an artistic discipline that is part of the Physical Education subject in the school curriculum. The main objective is to raise awareness of the characteristics, appreciate the values and defend the essential educational contributions that body language provides in the education of Spanish children and young people. The proper approach to this discipline includes a great pedagogical interest because it provides the basis for a general body education that can influence students’ future decisions regarding their relationship with physical activity.
