La voce dei bambini e delle bambine

This paper presents the results of an analysis of the ABMOVE! programme satisfaction levels as reported by the pupils involved in the experimental classes. Since the effectiveness of the intervention also relies on students’ active participation and their perception of the experience (Cognini, 2024; Di Vita, 2017), particular emphasis was placed on the student voice - that is, recognising and listening to children’s perspectives as a valuable resource for improving and innovating practices (Bourke et al., 2016). From an inclusive perspective, this approach recognises pupils as an active part of the educational process, contributing to the adaptation of teaching to concrete individual needs and learning styles. For this purpose, the survey What I think about ABMOVE! was administered. The tool consists of 13 open and closed questions aimed at gathering opinions and experiences on active breaks as opportunities for movement, well-being, and learning (Masini et al., 2020; Bellacicco et al., 2025). The collected responses highlighted pupils’ preferences, emotions, willingness to repeat the experience in other subject contexts, and possible changes in attitude towards mathematics (Broad et al., 2023; Bellacicco et al., 2025).
