Abstract

This work sought to discover how physical education class can favor the manifestation of multiple intelligences in problem solving in eight- to nine-year-old elementary school students. Through the qualitative method in the application of a didactic sequence of seven sessions, data was collected through a formative evaluation using interviews, observation and the physical education notebook that the children used throughout the intervention where they expressed part of their experience and learning that acquired in physical education class. As a result, it is observed that the students express in a specific way the learning obtained in the didactic sequence where multiple intelligences are manifested for solving problems, allowing to achieve the objectives of the didactic sequence. The importance of strengthening an inclusive physical education class through the approach of multiple intelligences is concluded where students can express their abilities and capacities to achieve the expected learning of physical education, the need to work on didactic skills in teachers is emphasized to plan suitable and stimulating scenarios that allow students to achieve development.
