Movement Education is an approach to teaching physical education that involves problem solving, guided discovery and exploratory methods with the effect of individualizing learning. This method applies coordinated and rhythmic body movements in learning situations. Movement Education is a new approach to teaching that originates in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. In this article, the concepts created by Rudolf Laban will be discussed along with the different teaching methods involved in movement education and the movement analysis wheel. The benefits of Movement Education and its ability to combat childhood obesity will also be explained.
