Even a short time in nature can reduce the stress level by lowering the cortisol level (cf. Hunter, Gillespie & Chen, 2019). In their 2019 review, Kuo and co-workers show that nature improves learning processes. Nature-based learning can increase student interest, improve grades and give all students the opportunity to be successful (cf. Kuo et al., 2019.
The results of the present study show that learning in motion is an extremely individual need of every student and that the Movement Method has proven to be a successful example for the practical implementation of learning in motion.
