movement-based teaching

Movement-based teaching is an educational approach that integrates physical activity into learning processes to enhance engagement, understanding, and retention. By using gestures, movement exercises, or physical manipulation of objects, it helps students connect concepts to their bodies and surroundings. This method recognizes that active participation can improve cognitive function, memory, and focus, especially for diverse learners. Movement-based teaching is effective across age groups and subjects, fostering a dynamic classroom environment where physical activity supports and reinforces intellectual development without compromising academic rigor.
