Development of intelligence bodily kinesthetic through mode capoeira in the first year of high school

Abstract

Introduction: For the present study Capoeira was used, a disguised fight and dance developed in game shape, as a tool for developing Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence. Aim: In order to verify the change of the intelligence of high school students during the School Physical Education classes in private educational institution. Materials and Methods: Therefore three self-assessments were administered by means of a closed questionnaire, in the following order: the end of the first class, the fourth class, and the eighth class. To verify this change, we used the Scale of Subjective Perception of Learning developed by Barros (in publishing). Result and Discussion: After the questionnaire, there was a small development of Bodily Kinesthetic Intelligence. The feeling should reflect how he was able to understand, relate and perform the exercise with the knowledge gained by combining the sensations of coordinative abilities; motor coordination and balance. With no concern for the variables of capacity constraints, no learning occurs before the motor action. Although it is a subjective measure, the scale of learning reveals a very good estimate of the understanding of the contents. Conclusion: However, studies related to Multiple Intelligences are little discussed in the literature, especially when considered from the quantitative method. Soon we expect this study to awaken more quantitative research on the relationship between Capoeira and Multiple Intelligences.
