Abstract:
Brain-based learning refers to teaching methods, lesson designs, and school programs that are based on the latest scientific research about how the brain learns, including such factors as cognitive development—how students learn differently as they age, grow and mature socially, emotionally, and cognitively.Brain based learning draws upon the functioning of the brain and takes into consideration the rules of the brain for meaningful learning. Brain-based learning is supported by the general belief that learning can be accelerated and improved if educators base how and what they teach, rather than on past educational practices, established conventions, or assumptions about the learning process.
