BRAIN BASED LEARNING

Why are Children and Schools Failing?

Why are Children and Schools Failing?

Introduction

The study is related to “Why are Children and Schools Failing” which is discussed in context of brain based learning. It is important to know the reason of above statement as it helps in understanding the development process of the children and the effect of learning process on the children. Moreover, it also helps in understanding the performance of schooling system which is an important and vital aspect of the society as the future of the children depends upon it.

Aim

The aim of the study is to illustrate the use of scientific method for exploring and developing why are children and schools failing referring to brain based learning.

Discussion

The study seeks to answer the question in the context of brain based learning that is why children are and schools are failing? This is a very broad question which cannot be resolved in a context. There are several reasons why children fail to learn. There is a neurological learning disabilities and psychological disorders, social pressures and distractions, study habits, malnutrition, lack of sleep, and alcohol and drugs. In the context of brain based learning, the first thing to look at motivation. Why do not the students motivated to learn? What can we do as teachers to help motivate the children? Understanding the brain based learning and use it in a program will help us to reach all students in the class not only to a select few.

We have a tradition that is defining the teaching of the last hundred years. The definition, which is not limited to K- 12 extends through college. Many students do not know they have the right to ask for something other than what is given (Jensen, 2008). Moreover, the learning engages the entire physiology, this means that the child's physical health - the quantity and quality of sleep, nutrition affect the brain, so does the mood. After several years of research and analysis, there are certain things and functionalities of the brain that are not understood die to its sophisticated structure. We are physiologically programmed, and we have cycles that must be respected. A teenager who does not get enough sleep one night is not going to absorb much of the new information the next day. Fatigue can affect the brain memory (Politano, 2000).

In context of brain based learning, the search for meaning is an ...
