Resource Title Exploring the impact of movement breaks on student engagement in online learning
Date Issued 26 January 2024
Abstract The study investigated the effects of incorporating movement breaks into online learning
on student engagement. The purpose was to examine how these breaks influenced
students' behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement during online classes. An
eight-week intervention was conducted, during which selected classes implemented
scheduled movement breaks. Data were collected through student responses, teacher
observations, and video recordings. The results indicated positive effects of the
movement breaks on student engagement in terms of behavioral, emotional, and
cognitive aspects. Students actively participated in the breaks, expressed positive
emotions, and demonstrated improved cognitive processing. The findings highlight the
importance of considering the mind-body link and suggest incorporating movement
breaks to enhance student engagement and well-being in online and in-person classes.
Practical implications include tailoring activities to students' interests and preferences,
creating a more inclusive learning environment, and conducting further research on
personalized approaches. The study provides valuable insights into the positive impact of
movement breaks on student engagement during online learning, offering practical
implications for educators.
