Abstract

In various researches,
emphasis is placed on the particular importance of the common game activity in
the peer group for children's learning of verbal means of communication: The
expressions, which are part of the dynamic game, signify the transition from the
situative forms of communication to the non-situative ones. Complicating the
content of verbal contacts is done by broadening the theme of children's
expressions, related to the updating of cognitive representations, personal
preferences and subjective appreciations of communicators. When the game is
used in the educational process, it acquires significant psycho-pedagogical
functions, ensures active participation of the pupil at the lesson, increases
his / her interest for knowledge and the content of the lessons, offers the
organized framework for practicing the communication. In modern society, known
as the society of information and communication, it is surprising that we
continue to limit the capacity of communication to certain parts of the
population such as students with special educational needs. For them,
communication restraints mean an obstacle to the development of their
educational capacities (Fernandez, 2016). The purpose of this study derives
from the complexity of activities involving interaction during Physical
Education lessons. The study focuses on identifying direct or indirect forms of
communication in Physical Education lessons, as well as how they are used and
how they are reflected in specific moments of the lesson structure.

The main research methods include the bibliographic
study, the observation method and some evaluation tests, which form the basis
for the necessary documentation and understanding of the communication process
in association with the physical education (game) activities.
