BODY, MOVEMENT, PHYSICAL EXERCISE IN EDUCATION AND RE-EDUCATION: RECENT NEUROSCIENCE PARADIGMS

Abstract

Neuroscience literature over the past twenty years has oscillated between reevaluating old paradigms and adopting new approaches in educational contexts. This research, based on a review of neuroscientific paradigms in education, highlights the centrality of corporeality in the mind-body relationship from a bio-psycho-social perspective. In a study of 43 subjects with neurological disorders who underwent an 8-month adapted physical activity program, positive correlations were found between cutaneous neural network development and improvements in motor, social, and interactional learning, resulting in enhanced quality of life.
