The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of an instructional planning based on assumptions of the meaningful learning, from principles of Joseph D. Novak’s Educational Theory, using concept maps and other teaching resources in the learning of concepts in physical education classes. Students made a pre-and post-intervention concept map. The analysis of the results showed that there were improvements in the concept maps’ quality and in the understanding of concepts related to the Olympic Games, organized under the Educational Theory principles of Novak and that new teaching and learning tools should be part of physical education classes.
