The body probably understands
Résumé
Learning probability can pose difficulties for students at all levels. Based on studies indicating that conducting probability experiments with concrete means can encourage students to develop an understanding of probability we tested the feasibility of learning abstract concepts in complex mathematics by applying embodied learning through movement-based games. Following a careful analysis of probabilistic concepts, a stratified movement class was structured according to the graded construction of the concepts. These were studied as metaphorical images for concrete situations experienced in the body. The findings of the study confirm the hypothesis that the achievements of middle school and high school students who learn probability through one movement lesson will meet the requirement of a standard achievement test. Furthermore, the degree of interest, curiosity, and satisfaction of students, who learned probability in this way, was substantial.
