Description

Minding Bodies: How Physical Space, Sensation, and Movement Affect Learning

By considering the whole body in teaching, rather than just mental effort, instructors can improve their students' knowledge and skills. New research highlights the importance of physical movement, attention to spatial environment, and sensitivity to humans as more than just "brains on sticks". This book offers new strategies to maximize learning effectiveness, both on campus and remotely.

Drawing from body/mind research in cognitive psychology, kinesiology, and phenomenology, Minding Bodies presents a holistic perspective on teaching and learning. The embodied learning approaches described are inclusive, low-tech, and low-cost, deepening the development of disciplinary knowledge and skills. This book provides recommendations for supporting transformational missions through attention to students' embodied learning experiences.
