While outcomes of embodied awareness practices in terms of improved posture and flexibility, movement efficiency, and well-being are often reported, systematic investigations of such training effects and of the actual nature, extent, and neurofunctional correlates of learning mechanisms thought to lie at the core of such practices are very limited. The present study focused on the Feldenkrais method (FM), one of the most established embodied awareness practices, and aimed at investigating the neurofunctional outcomes of the somatic learning process at the core of the method by testing the modulations induced by a standardized FM protocol on the complexity of practicers’ body structural map and on the activity of their sensorimotor network during different movement-related tasks (i.e., gestures observation, execution, and imagery). Twenty-five participants were randomly divided into an experimental group—which completed a 28-session FM protocol based on guided group practice—and a control group, and underwent pre-/post-training psychometric and electrophysiological assessment. Data analysis highlighted, at the end of the FM protocol, a significant increase of EEG markers of cortical activation (task-related mu desynchronization) in precentral regions during action observation and in central regions during action execution and imagery. Also, posterior regions of the sensorimotor network showed systematic activation during all the action-related tasks.

The purpose of this study was to determine the learning outcomes of VA MIN I Yogyakarta class students with the Somatic Visual Intellectual Education (SAVI) approach with the Class Action Research method (classroom Action Research). It can be seen from the pre-action class score of 72.14 with the completeness percentage of 62.96%. With the increase in mathematics learning outcomes in the learning cycle 2 times. Somatic learning students want to move, want to understand the characteristics of building space with a visual model capable of attracting students to the subject matter, the auditory model helps students capture material and trains students to evoke imagination in determining the properties of building space, while the intellectual model helps students learn by understanding and mastering the material. I obtained the mean value of the class s 84.81 with a percentage of 81.49%. Cycle II obtained a class average value of 91.85 with a completeness percentage of 96.29%. The limitation in this study is only using the SAVI approach in Yogyakarta MIN I VA class 2018/2019 class students and not yet comprehensive.

In this article, we address an existing lacuna in the sociology of the senses, by employing sociological phenomenology to illuminate the under-researched sense of temperature, as lived by a social group for whom water temperature is particularly salient: competitive pool swimmers. The research contributes to a developing ‘sensory sociology’ that highlights the importance of the socio-cultural framing of the senses and ‘sensory work’, but where there remains a dearth of sociological exploration into senses extending beyond the ‘classic five’ sensorium. Drawing on data from a three-year ethnographic study of competitive swimmers in the UK, our analysis explores the rich sensuousities of swimming, and highlights the role of temperature as fundamentally affecting the affordances offered by the aquatic environment. The article contributes original theoretical perspectives to the sociology of the senses and of sport in addressing the ways in which social actors in the aquatic environment interact, both intersubjectively and intercorporeally, as thermal beings.

The purpose of this research was to increase learning effectiveness of buffer solution through SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual) approach using experiment guide and CD in class XI SMAN 21 Jakarta. It started from December 2011 until April 2012. The method was classroom action research in two rounds. This research started with preliminary analysis by teacher interview and student questionnaire to make the lesson plan. The results showed that the learning effectiveness had enhancement from first cycle to second cycle. It could be seen from the average of learning outcomes that increased from 73,89 in first round to 81,28 in second round. To increase learning effectiveness of buffer solution through SAVI approach, first we could know the dominant learning style of student in that class and the characteristic of subject that learnt. After that, teacher could determine learning method and media that suited with them. Application of experiment guide and CD as implememtation of SAVI approach could optimized visual and auditory learning style of student. Besides that, experiment in the laboratory could optimized somatic learning style of student. Keywords : effectiveness, SAVI approach, buffer solution
