Abstract

School education in Portugal aims at students’ cognitive, personal and social development by organizing the curriculum to include knowledge that enables children to experience different scenarios and contents and fostering students’ learning. Teaching and learning of artistic and physical and motor expressions contributes to and is vital for students’ development. Thus, pedagogical dynamics are reconfigured, which consequently specifies the movements of students’ bodies. Teachers from basic education are undoubtedly the main promoters of such experiences. This paper finds and characterizes how teachers plan and implement Art Education and Physical Education by developing the concept of expressions’ education in which movement is understood as the main means of communication. The study was developed through a mixed-method approach. The results reveal a close relationship between organizational conditions and how teachers develop students’ creativity and motor skills.
