Sumario:This contribution, starting from the scientific framework of the Embodiment phenomenon, wants to focus on the specific issue of university education aimed at students from an Embodied Cognition-based (EC-based) perspective. For several years now, European educational policies have required member states to create programmes to increase the educational level of the population and to give more importance to the training of key competences in order to guarantee continuous learning for all citizens. At the same time, the importance of promoting meaningful learning processes is emphasised, where the individual is able to actively construct the meaning of what is presented and to transfer their knowledge and skills. It is from these considerations that the research expressed in this paper takes shape, analysing the application and outcomes of the EC-based approach in the educational pathway of the students of the Physical Education course enrolled in the Primary Education degree course at the University of Macerata during the 2022/23 academic year.
