Is that not how humans have been learning for ever? We <em>do<\/em>activities and learn from them. We learn to drive, cook , sing, write, articulate &#8211; by doing these activities over and over again. Haven&#8217;t situational learning, apprenticeship, inquiry based learning &#8211; all hinted at the same concept?<\/p>\n<p>I guess the cognitivist&#8217;s have found physical evidence that brain changes as we explore ideas somatically. So instead of calling it a new learning concept, we should call it a <strong>cognitive confirmation of an existing (constructivist?) idea. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am glad to see this confirmation as it strengthens the way I teach. As teachers we blend all learning theories for maximum advantage. So I believe that all learnings finally help the students build strong mental models within their schemas which are based on their prior knowledge, experience and exposure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Embodied Learning: &#8220;Cognitive scientists have discovered compelling evidence that nearly all of our experiences are in some way grounded in the body.&#8221; @ http:\/\/smallablearning.com\/embodied_learning I am always compelled to find overlaps in learning theories- because there always are.
