BRAIN-BASED
EDUCATION
Brain-based learning/education is motivated
by the general belief that learning can be
accelerated and improved if educators base
how and what they teach on the science of
learning, rather than on past educational
practices, established conventions, or
assumptions about the learning process.

Given the breadth and diversity

of related scientific findings,
brain-based learning may take a
wide variety of forms from
school to school or teacher to
teacher.
✓Teachers may design lessons or classroom environments to
reflect conditions that facilitate learning.
✓They may play calming music to decrease stress, reduce the
amount of time they spend lecturing, engage students in
regular physical activity.
✓Create comfortable reading and study areas, with couches
and beanbag chairs.
✓They may also encourage students to eat more healthy foods
or exercise more—two physical factors that have been shown
to affect brain health.
 The principles of brain-based learning are
also being introduced into teacher-
preparation programs, and an increasing
number of colleges and universities are
offering courses and degrees in the field. For
example, Harvard University’s Graduate
School of Education now offers a Mind, Brain,
and Education master’s-degree program.

 The Effect Of Brain-

Based Learning Strategy
On Academic Skills
 For a large number of years, teachers have shown
students each academic subject possible from
Philosophy to Art, from Geometry to Biology, from
Literature to History, etc. During that time, numerous
teachers were persuaded that the best students were
the ones who paid the most attention to their lectures
and spent the most time reading and rereading all of
their homework assignments.
 A lot of teachers have
succeeded in reaching out to
students and motivating
them to learn, while others
didn’t.
 When a teacher understands how the
brain functions, she gets in a better
position to help his students in various
ways. She can assist the students in
directing their attention which will help
increase their ability to retain memories.
This is one of the aims and promises of
brain-based learning. This method of
learning draws insights from several
fields, including:

Neurology
Technology
Psychology
Keep diverse learners engaged.
Provide feedbacks that are valuable enough and
can lead to a better understanding.
Create a more productive learning environment.
By creating a healthy learning environment,
teachers can adequately address the social and
emotional needs of the student as well as their
minds.
 There are multiple benefits of brain-
based learning. By implementing them,
schools can make academic programs
that are ideally suited for each year-
group students. Individual teachers are
able to structure the most appropriate
educational experiences for their
students.
✓Make a safe learning environment
✓Start early
✓Encourage growth
✓Get both brains and bodies in gear
✓Embrace the potential of novelty
✓Request feedback
Brain-based learning can also affect social-
emotional development, or a student’s ability
to understand and regulate their emotions.
Studies have found that brain-based learning
strategies can improve a student’s motivation
and attitude.
