Embodied Pedagogies
Experience
High vulnerability within embodied tasks. Moves away from the "normal" classroom experience and requires students to engage with higher order thinking
High impact learning experiences and meaningful ways to incorporate cross curriculum priorities
opportunities for 'play'
"In the moment engagement" - Bird & Sinclair (2019)
building stronger student/teacher relationships and engendering a sense of camaraderie in the classroom. This sentiment has underscored the last few weeks of learning, and has lead to many enriching discussions both breakout rooms and class-wide discussions
Creating a safe space
Engaging with the PROCESS of learning
Having ownership
‘Seeing reorients the control of teaching and learning from being imposed by (Debra), to coming from within the learning situation itself’ (322).
Shared experience creates a starting point for conceptual understanding
Presents actions to understand a process
Actions build to a shared vocabulary
Inclusive Practice
Multiple opportunities to share diverse experiences and systems of knowledge
Scope for Indigenous perspectives to be meaningfully invokes
Consistent acknowledgement of country prefaces embodied learning - makes the practice more meaningful (rather than tokenistic)
Through minimising risk and maximising possibility, a safe and inclusive creative space is established
Planning for diverse learning, behavioural and language needs
How do we ensure all students feel they can engage at their highest capacity?
Collaborative/cooperative learning
relaxed/collegial register
teacher as facilitator
multiple avenues for students to access support froma more knowledgeable other
democratic classroom setting
mutually understood rules, values and learning intentions
Sharing experiences to demonstrate understanding,
‘...embodied teaching and learning is about building relationships between self, others, and subject matter; living in- between these entities’ (Latta and Buck, 2008, pg. 318)
Recognising multiple perspectives from a shared experience :
'In other words, our bodies, not just our minds, help us make sense of what we see, feel, smell, taste and learn' (Duffy, 2012, p.120).
Stick figure "BBQ" activity reflected different interpretations of what the stick figure may represent
Learning
Facilitate stimulating learning experiecnes that coincide with students' emerging capabiltiies :
using new forms of technology/playing with multimodal texts
gradual release of responsibility as tasks/texts become more complex
