Physical geography processes such as erosion and transportation can be difficult concepts for some students to comprehend. Traditionally, they are taught through learning key words and their definitions, and then drawing a diagram to represent each type of process.
However, this approach does not always enable all students to understand the differences between them, and some learners can struggle to recall the information at a later date.
The use of movement (or kinaesthetic learning) is a powerful way to develop students’ comprehension of key words and concepts in geography. The aim is to enhance learners’ understanding of geographical processes by acting them out.
