Brain Based Education

Brain-based education is an approach to instruction based on current research in neuroscience about how the brain learns naturally. It provides a biologically driven framework for teaching and learning based on principles derived from understanding the structure and function of the developing brain. Core principles include that the brain is a parallel processor, learning engages the whole body, emotions drive attention and memory, and the brain learns best when facts are embedded in spatial memory. Brain-based education employs interactive teaching methods like orchestral immersion and relaxed alertness to optimize learning.

BRAIN-BASED

EDUCATION
GROUP 5
•Is a comprehensive approach to instruction based on how
current research in neuroscience suggests our brain learns
naturally.
•This theory is based on what we currently know about
the actual structure and function of the human brain at
varying stages of development
•This type of education provides a biologically driven
framework for teaching and learning, and helps explain

DEFINITION
recurring learning behaviors.
•It is a meta-concept that includes an eclectic mix of
techniques. Currently, these techniques stress allowing
teachers to connect learning to students' real life
experiences.
•Brain-based learning is also the application of a
meaningful group of principles that represents our
understanding of how our brain works in the context of
education.
•Is simply the engagement of strategies based on
body/mind/brain research.
•Brain based learning is not a panacea or magic bullet to
solve all of education's problems.

Brain based education is
the “engagement of
strategies based on
principles derived from
an understanding of the
brain.”
This form of learning also encompasses such
educational concept as:
• Mastery learning
• Learning styles
• Multiple intelligences
• Cooperative learning
• Practical simulations
• Experiential learning
• Problem-based learning
• Movement education

Core principles directing brain-based
education are:
1. The brain is a parallel processor. It can perform several activities at
once.
2. The brain perceives whole and parts simultaneously.
3. Information is stored in multiple areas of the brain and is retrieved
through multiple memory and neural pathways.
4. Learning engages the whole body. All learning is mind-body:
movement, foods, attention cycles, and chemicals modulate learning.
5. Humans’ search for meaning is innate.
6. The search for meaning comes through patterning.

2023 BRAIN BASED EDUCATION 6


Core principles directing brain-based
education are:
7. Emotions are critical to patterning, and drive out attention,
meaning and memory.
8. Meaning is more important than just information
9. Learning involves focused attention and peripheral perception
10. We have two types of memory: spatial and rote.
11. We understand best when facts are embedded in natural spatial
memory.
12. The brain is social. It develops better in concert with other brains

2023 BRAIN BASED EDUCATION 7


Core principles directing brain-based
education are:
13.Complex learning is enhanced by challenge
and inhibited by stress.
14.Every brain in uniquely organized.
15.Learning is developmental. (Caine)

Implications for best teaching practices and optimal
learning
• There are interactive teaching elements that emerge from these principles.
o Orchestral immersion: Learning environment are created that immerse students
in a learning experience.
o Relaxed alertness: An effort is made to eliminate fear while maintaining a
highly challenging environment.
o Active processing: The learner consolidates and internalizes information by
actively processing it.

Optimizing learning through different
mediums
Music can lower stress, boost learning when used in 3
MUSIC different ways:

• as a carrier- using melody or beat to encode


content,
• as arousal- to calm down or energize,
• as a primer- to prepare specific pathways for
learning content impacts the immune system,
and is an energy source for the brain.

20XX BRAIN BASED EDUCATION 10


Is an important part of brain based education in that it
ART provides many learners with avenues of expressions and
emotional conduits for learning and retaining
information.

Diverse forms of assessments


Students should be exposed to multiple
assessment methods. (Jensen)
