As contribuições dos estudos sobre inteligência humana para a pedagogia do esporte

Abstract

Based on the work of Howard Gardner, the author of the Multiple Intelligence Theory (IM), and through re-search we have carried out in this fi eld, we attempt at understanding intelligence in a different manner from the one proposed by the classic models. We argue that the understanding of a pluralist view on the human mind inspires a pedagogy of singularity in which tea-ching involves recognizing students’ multiple ways of learning. We also highlight the responsibility of physi-cal education teachers in allowing for different ways of teaching a certain content or a type of sport. In this arti-cle we offer a few contributions which aim at improving pedagogical propositions on how to teach sports.
