To shed light on this issue for the case of geometry education, we align theoretical perspectives on embodied learning and abstraction with …

Kinderen in Nederland brengen het grootste gedeelte van hun schooldag zittend door. Om de fysieke activiteit tijdens de schooldag te vergroten wordt er steeds meer gekeken naar de mogelijkheden van bewegend leren.
