Here's What Scientists Aren't Telling Us About Learning

Here's What Scientists Aren't Telling Us About Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
It's rare for educators to be kept in the scientific loop, and rarer still to encounter research that might actually compel us to change our teaching hab
Beth Dichter's insight:

Research continues to learn more about how we learn, but it is not always easy to find. This post, by informEd, provides 10 suggestions based on current research, and each is discussed in more detail in the post. Below are three of the findings.

* To learn quickly, don't concentrate so hard. Over thinking can make it harder to learn.

* It matters what your learning environment looks like. Did you know that physical characteristics, "such as air quality, colour, and light" can together impact the learning process of primary students by as much as 16% in a single year."

* Understanding a student's learning process occupies the same space in the brain as practicing empathy. I suspect we have all experienced frustration when working with students, but to provide feedback that will help them empathy also plays a role.

This post provides seven additional insights that may make a difference in your classroom. Click through to learn more about research on how we learn.

A Neurologist Makes the Case for Teaching Teachers About the Brain

A Neurologist Makes the Case for Teaching Teachers About the Brain | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Should teachers be required to learn about the brain, to understand how neuroscience reseach has implications for teaching?

This post looks at how neuroscience knowledge strengthens a teachers ability to "help all children build their brain potential." Did you know that new research on the brains' neuroplasticity shows that educators may "help students literally change their brains - and intelligence."

Learn about what triggers student behaviors, how to bring neuroscience into education, why frontloading is more critical than ever, and find a wealth of resourcesto help you learn more about the neuroscience of learning as well as resources for your students to learn more about the brain.

And if you are looking for a free online course on Neuroscience and the Classroom: Making Connections check out this course from Annenberg Learner: http://www.learner.org/courses/neuroscience/.
