Re-examining the Educational Significance of Learning Bodily Movement: An Approach Using the Concept of“ Affordance”

This study aims to re-examine the educational significance of learning bodily movement. To realize this goal while considering the related discussions in the previous studies, a potential cue from the concept of affordance developed by Gibson is taken into account. Understanding bodily movement from a perspective related to the concept of affordance generates a notion that learning movement will serve as a proof of using affordances in the environment, which will eventually lead to more options in life in the sense of expanding the possibilities for action. Furthermore, the sense of expanding the possibilities for action is human development, which is something that lasts a lifetime. Simply put, learning movement in itself constitutes a foundation for enriching life and living better, and this further can be recognized as possessing educational significance.
