Physical education (PE) can be a useful tool to promote life/soft skills. Schools highlight the importance to combine the construction of knowledge with an education that provides students the means to face the challenges of daily life. In Italy, although life/soft skills are recognized as important competencies for the individual, there is no kind of ministerial decree about them. The purpose of the essay was to present a brief review of studies concerning the effectiveness of programs implemented during PE hours on development of life/soft skills, in order to decline new thematic cores that take into consideration the emerging results.

L’educazione fisica (EF) può essere uno strumento utile per la promozione delle life/soft skills. Le scuole sottolineano l’importanza di affiancare alla costruzione delle conoscenze un’educazione in grado di fornire agli studenti i mezzi necessari per poter affrontare le sfide della vita quotidiana. In Italia, nonostante le life/soft skills siano riconosciute come competenze importanti per l’individuo, non vi è alcun tipo di decreto ministeriale a riguardo. Scopo del saggio era quello di presentare una breve rassegna di studi riguardante l’- efficacia di programmi implementati durante le ore di EF nello sviluppo delle life/soft skills, al fine di declinare nuovi nuclei tematici che tengano conto dei risultati emergenti. Il metodo era la revisione della letteratura. Dagli studi individuati l’EF è risultata essere una disciplina in grado di promuovere lo sviluppo delle life skills. Sarebbe utile aggiornare le Indicazioni Nazionali che declinano i traguardi per lo sviluppo delle competenze e obiettivi di apprendimento dell’EF.

Abstract
Physical education (PE) can be a useful tool to promote life/soft skills. Schools highlight the importance to combine the construction of knowledge with an education that provides students the means to face the challenges of daily life. In Italy, although life/soft skills are recognized as important competencies for the individual, there is no kind of ministerial decree about them. The purpose of the essay was to present a brief review of studies concerning the effectiveness of programs implemented during PE hours on development of life/soft skills, in order to decline new thematic cores that take into consideration the emerging results. The method was the literature review. From the studies identified, PE was found to be a discipline that can promote the development of life skills. It would be useful to update the National Directions, which declines the goals for the development of PE competencies and learning objectives.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
