Movement in learning
open-in-new
<p>Movement in learning also known as movement-based instruction, is a <a href="/facts/Teaching_method/tjADvYgf">teaching method</a> based on the concept that movement enhances cognitive processes and facilitates learning. This approach emphasizes integrating movement into educational settings to optimize students' engagement and academic performance. Research suggests that incorporating movement breaks as little as 10 minutes of walking, and physical activities during lessons can enhance students' ability to process and retain new information. While some studies have highlighted the positive effects of movement-based instruction, there is ongoing research exploring its effectiveness across diverse educational settings and populations. </p>
