Motor and Sports Activities in Primary School Teachers’ Training: Meaning of Autobiography

The objective of the research was to study the frequencies of some variables related to the autobiography of the students randomly drawn as samples. In the field of primary school teachers’ training, infact, a motor laboratory path can be a formation methodology that allows students to activate a perceptive and learning process correlated to a new vision of the body as subject of communication and of self-awareness in didactics. We have used a questionnaire investigating the motor experiences of the students as well as his/her perception of some characteristics necessary to the educational behaviour in motor and sports field (balance, coordination, etc.). A descriptive statistic showed the results, representing the frequencies related to the school cycles during which the motor and sport activity had an important role, and the ones of the characteristics necessary to the educational behaviour in the primary school
