Brain Based Learning Activities

Thanks to the advances in the technology, we in fact can look at now the brain as it learns by neuroimaging and the studies brain doing the card of. This is one of the most of the fascinating sectors are the research of memory brain based today available.

Based on my bottom as a neurologist and my experience as a professor of room of class, I created this point list for any professor to integrate based brain learning from the strategies. Let us hope that you will find these connections between the research and the strategies NEUROLOGICAL.

Of tension

Tension causes the systems of brain take to send the news in the Reactive brain (the automatique-combat, the flight, freeze) and prevents from the news flow by to the cortex of prefrontal reflecting where the memory in the long term is constructed. The communities of support of room of class lower the tension of brain and open filters to learn. Use coherent rites as a class song, the student jobs, a mouse and a "hello" greeting.

To seize itself Attention

The memorable events do the memories. The game music when the students between the class and hang posters "does the advertising for" or the allusions giving following lesson. The curiosity increases the attention and the memory. During the lesson, the dramatic pauses will capture the attention.

Color

Have students use colored pens to equal the color of your boundaries of white picture to underline important the news. Use green, the yellow, and red one in the importance order - as a signalization fire.

Novelty

If the students test the demonstration novelty, the pop videos, the anecdotes, or even the enthusiasm in your voice, their attentive filters set up themselves on the news.

Personal direction

The students must care for enough the new information or consider it personally important for him to cross the filters of brain and is stored as the memory. Use the news of the Investigations of Interest to connect students to equipment OR use their names and their names of their favorite animals or their favorite sport while giving problems to the maths).

Memories relationelles

The brain keeps only the functioning (the memory in the short one run) for a minute unless it connects with the previous knowledge. Activate their previous knowledge in student avoant do the predictions and KWL (That I Know, That I Want To Know, That I Learned) the graphs.

Model

The brain is an organ models looking for. When the students recognize relations between new and previous the knowledge, their brains can link up the new information with a category of current knowledge for the emmagasinage in the long term. The graphic organizers and do the analogies construct models.

Mental manipulation for Memory in the long term

Once the news arrive to the students of cortex of prefrontal must do something with that to construct permanent memories. The students can write summaries of new information in their own words. To do these even more more more personally more significant, the summaries can be in the forms that suit their preferences of style of erudition including the graphic organizers, the sketches, and the diagrams.

The practice Does Permanent

While using sensory lesson multiples to reconsider equipment, the different neuronal networks store the knowledge in the regions of multiple brain. Their brains will construct multiple ways take to the stored memory, that does the more effective recuperation.

When a memory often was recalled, their repeated activation strengthens its neuronal circuits, as to exercise a muscle.

Syn-fait A SMALL SUM: Brain breaks

After only 10 minutes doing it same activity, the neurotransmitters, the proteins of transportation of brain, needed for the construction of memory and the attention are reduced. The syn-sommes are brains cuts where you change the erudition activity to leave the chemical products of brain fill. The syn-sommes can stretch, can sing, or can mime the vocabulary words.

After just some minutes, their brains refresh will be ready for the new emmagasinage of memory.
