Brain-based learning- Is an approach to teaching
based on research in neuroscience. It suggests that our brain learns naturally. This theory is based on what is currently known about the structure and function of the brain at the varying stages of development.
Brain-based learningIncludes an eclectic mix of techniques. It encompasses education concepts like mastery learning, problem-based learning, cooperative education, multiple intelligences, learning styles, experiential learning.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
1. The brain perceives whole and parts simultaneously.2. The brain is a parallel processor which can perform activities at once.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
3. Information is stored in multiple areas of the brain and is retrieved through multiple memory and neural path ways.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
4. Learning engages the whole body. All learning is mind-body: movement, food, attention cycles, chemicals modulate learning.5. Humans’ search for meaning is innate.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
6. Search for meaning comes from patterning.7. Emotions are critical to patterning and drive our attention, meaning and memory.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
8. Meaning is more important than information.9. Learning involves focused attention and peripheral perception.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
10. We have two types of memory: spatial and rote. 11. The brain is social. It develops better in concert with other brains.
Core Principles in Guiding Brain-Based Education
12. Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by stress.13. Every brain is uniquely organized.14. Learning is developmental.
Interactive Teaching Elements
1. Orchestrated immersion-Learning environments are created to provide authentic
learning experiences.
Interactive Teaching Elements
2. Relaxed Alertness-Efforts are made to eliminate
fear while maintaining a highly challenging environment.
Interactive Teaching Elements
3. Active processing-The learners consolidate and
internalize information by actually processing these
information.
Principles that will enhance learning
1. Need of rich stimulating environments w/c utilize students’ created materials and products.

learning2. Tables and desks are group
together to develop social interactions, cooperation and develop
social skills.

3. Indoor and outdoor spaces should be linked so that the students can move about freely.

4. Learners should be provided safe places so that threat will be reduced, especially in city places.

5. There must be a variety of learning centers or nooks with varied lightings.
Some children prefer to work together in different nooks or corners by themselves.

6. Displays in the classrooms should be changed regularly to
stimulate the brain development.

7. Provide multiple resources. The goal of the
facility is multiple functions.

8. Active and passive places should be provided for students to develop
their interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences.

learning
9. Flexibility is a principle that has been recognized long before. The
“teachable moment” must be recognized and capitalized on.
Principles that will enhance
learning
10. A personal space of learners like lockers, desk or home base is
provided to allow him/her to express his/her unique identity.

learning
11. The community is utilized as the primary learning environment.
Principles that will enhance
learning
12. The brain can grow connections at any age. Optimizing learning through different media.
Coming together is a beginning…
Keeping together is progress…
Working together is SUCCESS.
