Knowing Bodies, Moving Minds: Towards Embodied Teaching and Learning Liora Bresler (Ed.) |
|
This book aims to
define new theoretical, practical, and methodological directions in
educational research centered on the role of the body in teaching and
learning. Based on our phenomenological experience of the world, it draws on
perspectives from arts-education and aesthetics, as well as curriculum
theory, cultural anthropology and ethnomusicology. These are arenas with a
rich untapped cache of experience and inquiry that can be applied to the
notions of schooling, teaching and learning. The book provides
examples of state-of-the-art, empirical research on the body in a variety of
educational settings. Diverse art forms, curricular settings, educational
levels, and cultural traditions are selected to demonstrate the complexity
and richness of embodied knowledge as they are manifested through
institutional structures, disciplines, and specific practices. This volume is of
interest to faculty and graduate students in Educational Philosophy and
Policy Studies, Curriculum and Instruction and Special Education as well as
in Music, Visual Art, Dance and Drama Education. |
