FROM MOVEMENT TO MEANING: THE ROLE OF EMBODIED LEARNING IN EDUCATION

Pierluigi Faella, Alice Iannaccone, Simone Digennaro

Abstract


Embodied learning integrates physical activity, cognitive processes, and environmental interactions, challenging the mind-body dualism and promoting inclusive education. A thematic synthesis of 21 studies highlighted the role of movement in improving comprehension in STEM subjects, boosting motivation, and enhancing self-awareness and meaning-making. However, implementation and resource allocation challenges persist, underscoring the need for further research into its long-term effects.
