Movement and Learning: A Valuable Connection
Stevens-Smith, Deborah
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v18 n1 p10-11 Sep-Oct 2004
In this article, the author discusses the relatedness between movement and learning for students. The process of learning involves basic nerve cells that transmit information and create numerous neural connections essential to learning. One way to increase learning is to encourage creation of more synaptic connections in the brain through movement. Brain scans show that children learn best when they are actually moving and learning at the same time. Among other things, the author discusses things that encourage learning as well as things that inhibit learning. (Contains 3 resources.)
