Abstract
Biomechanics is an essential core science for understanding humanmovement and for professionals that teach movement like
physical educationteachers. Mastery of biomechanics principles is not strong followingtraditional university instruction, and
physical education teachers often reportnot using biomechanics in their professional practice. This paper proposes
abiomechanics continuing education course for Brazilian physical educationteachers based on meaningful learning theory
and the professional skill of qualitativediagnosis of movement. The main elements to be considered in planningpotentially
meaningful learning such as student, content, teacher, context andevaluation were summarized and illustrated. With the
implementation of this coursewe hope to elicit meaningful learning in essential biomechanical principles incurrent physical
education teachers, improve their application of theseprinciples in professional practice, and contribute to improved
biomechanicsteaching strategies in other biomechanics courses.Key-words: meaningful learning, qualitative diagnosis,
constructivist, teaching, scaffolding.
