Gym teaching methodology: new approaches, new perspectives

Abstract

This article aims at systematizing a methodological approach for the teaching of gym in schools and communities, which is being built from the experiences held with teaching, research, and extension (community-bound) projects linked to GEPEGIN - the Study, Research, and Gym Experimentation Group, from the Physical Education Department at UFG - the Federal University of Goias. This approach indicates some principles, contents, and strategies for action that might contribute to the process of human education in a critical way, in an attempt to point towards a new perspective for the teaching, the practice, and the knowledge of Gymnastics. KEY-WORDS: gymnastics methodology – human education – body language.
