THE IMPACT OF FUNCTIONAL ADVANCED DIDACTICS (FAD) IN EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS: A SMALL STUDY ON THE INTEGRATION OF AN EMBODIED BASED APPROACH IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Santolo Ciccarelli, Maria Giovanna Tafuri, Francesco Vincenzo Ferraro

Abstract


This study explores the effect of a new embodied-based teaching method called Functional Advanced Didactics (FAD), which integrates physical exercise with conventional academic subjects.
To verify its usefulness, a study was conducted involving 15 students attending a primary school in the city of Naples. 
At the end of the six-month trial, significant improvements in geometry learning emerged.
