Re: Physical practices should be connected with learning
I agree with you that physical practices should be connected with learning. I've experience of it. STEAM PSKISTAN is best example of it. They have initiated STEAM School Journey program where schools are registered and they are supposed to complete 15 levels. Each level contsins different activities. All activities are Hands-on Activities in which students body parts are involved. This is physical pratice in learning. I'm also part of STEAM. My students have take part in STEAM Activities. In all these activities their body parts were involved. They completed their projects with Hands-on activities. My students win three projects: (1) Working Science Model (2) Designing Musical Instrument and (3) Preparing Postcard from hometown. I observed that students learn more with body involvement than only listening to teacher's lecture. The students become concentrated on their topic. Actively take part in activity using their ceativity, problem solving and critical thinking skills. They understand the toipic fully with hands-on activity. So I agree with you that physical practices should be connected with learning in which students learn more.
