Using Kinaesthetic Exertion to Engender Team Psychological Safety in UK Higher Education

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sensuous Learning for Practical Judgment in Professional Practice

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Business, Arts and Humanities ((PSBAH))

Abstract

This chapter is based on educating UK Undergraduate Business School students with the opportunities afforded by an Open Space Learning (OSL) environment. Our use of the Arts-based Intervention (ABI) of physical performance challenges normative Business School pedagogy that has been claimed to reduce students to becoming “voracious copy machines” (Beghetto and Kauffman 2009, p. 300).
