WHEELCHAIR FENCING, PROPOSAL FOR ITS INCLUSION IN THE SCHOOL CONTEXT

This article presents the specific pedagogic proposal carried out with a student of 3rd year of the ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education), with spinal cord injury (paraplegia) in a teaching unit of fencing given in Physical Education. It is not a disability material-project, but for inclusion, where all students have to carry out the normalized activity. To do this, tasks have been designed considering three difficulty levels. In this context, this paper pays also attention to other matters, in particular, values concerning responsible consumption and the care of the school environment; certain materials are prepared by students from recycled objects. This paper lays out useful foundations that may help teachers to design a teaching physical education fencing unit that takes into account motor disability specificities.
