Injury Prevalence in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mitigation Strategies for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioners and Instructors: A Literature Review

For instance, according to Sanger and Pavlova (2016), alignment along with the content's relevancy to life and experience, its emotional connection to the learner, and self-directed learning are all part of the principles of andragogy when discussing curricula.

Os artigos selecionados trazem em seus resultados, para além dos escores obtidos pelos alunos, que os jogos motivam mais os alunos a estarem imersos no episódio de ensino, e serem mais participativos e se interessarem mais sobre o tema pela abordagem ter sido trazida através do GBL, como relatam Guckian et al, (2019).…”
