Brain-Based Learning and Literacy
Brain-based teaching and learning is a new paradigm of pedagogy. It is one of the most exciting fields in the world of brain research, based on research from the disciplines of neuroscience, biology, and psychology. Brain based learning is an approach that explains how the brain naturally learns best. Locate an article in the Ashford Online Library that investigates research in brain development and its relation to learning and literacy. Provide a summary of the article and explain how the findings can be translated into what an educator can do to enhance learning and literacy. Do your findings support what you know about brain functions in the process of learning? Why or why
Brain-Based Learning: The Neurological Findings About the Human Brain that Every Teacher should Know to be Effective.Authors:Degen, Ronald JeanSource:Amity Global Business Review. Feb2014, Vol. 9, p15-23. 9p. 1 Diagram, 1 Chart.Document Type:ArticleSubject Terms:*TEACHERS

Optimal learningAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to present the main neurological findings about the human brain that provide the basis for brain-based learning, and that represent a narrow field of cognitive science as a whole. The findings that are described were made primarily by neuroscientists who studied the structure and functions of the nervous system with the purpose of correcting abnormalities. Only recently have neuroscientists begun studying the brain-based learning processes of normal students in detail (Fenker, et al., 2008; Jonides, et al., 2008; Kellman, & Massey, 2010; and Swanbrow, 2011). The neurological findings about the human brain were used by researchers such as Hart (1975, 1983), Caine & Caine (1990, 1991), Cain et al. (2009), Jensen (2008), and Medina (2008) to develop brain-based learning strategies that promote learning in accordance with the way the brain is naturally designed to learn.
