Person, body and emotion in education

Abstract

This article suggests a reflexive advance from the CRE-SER initiative for the development of socio-emotional skills in physical education; research carried out at the Universidad Libre (Bogotá-Colombia), presenting documentary analysis and hermeneutic praxis, also illustrating the fundamental categories and their relationships, from a philosophical and pedagogical point of view. Firstly, there is criticism of modernity, in which the body and emotion are irrelevant for the personal development of the subjects. Consequently, teachers are called to scrutinize more humanizing routes to rescue emotionality and personalization. Then a conceptual study is carried out observing the body-person relationship, its anthropological dimensions and intentions; then the correspondence between body-emotionality is detailed and the respective pedagogical implications are addressed; concluding with some general didactic orientations.
