Enactive movement integration: results from an action research project

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

In this article, we examine how to integrate movement into teaching. Through action research in four Danish primary schools, teachers and a researcher collaboratively developed movement activities in teaching. The result of the research is a didactical model for enactive movement integration (EMI) containing six categories of bodily practices; to mime, dramatize, gesticulate, shape, imitate, and sense. These provide pupils with sensory-motor, affective, and intersubjective experiences with the subject matter. We conclude that the didactical model can help teachers plan and conduct movement integration in a way that embraces the pupils' embodied subjectivity and enactive engagement with the subject matter.
