Description
Embodied learning encourages physics teachers to take into account diverse learning needs, social differences and cultural backgrounds of students in order to successfully implement these activities in the classroom. Embodied leaning emphasizes the importance of physical experiences in the learning process, where the body and the learning environment are essential components of the learning process. Embodied learning has added value and promotes students' creativity and motivation. This research focusses on the interactions between teacher and students during an embodied learning activity, where students represent a model of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields in a role play.
