Abstract

This work tries to characterize the motor competence as a theoretical construct, taking into account the scientific knowledge from a praxiological perspective. For this, we will try to determine what would be the dimensions that configure it and its characteristics. Considering that our study is linked to School Physical Education, motor behavior has been taken as its referent, understood as the significant organization of motor behavior. A qualitative research strategy was used, which combined the techniques of documentary analysis with a group of experts. For this, a semantic approximation analysis of the term and its background was made, using a documentary search methodology and content analysis. It is concluded that the dimensions that allow us to characterize motor competence as a specific competence are: biological, cognitive, affective, interactive, and motor or praxic execution. From this perspective, motor competence is manifested through motor behavior in motor situations of School Physical Education.
