UNDERSTANDING ACTIVE CITIES: INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES FOR STUDENTS OF HUMAN MOVEMENT AND SPORT SCIENCES

Alessandro Cudicio, Silvia Sangalli

Abstract


This study delves into the characteristics of Active Cities and Bodily Practices course, where students actively engage with urban spaces to promote physical activity. Through innovative teaching methods, students develop competencies that extend beyond theory, enabling them to critically analyze and enhance urban environments. Student feedback evaluation, sheded light on the effectiveness of active learning approaches in fostering comprehensive understanding and practical skills.


Keywords
