Whole Brain® Learning in Higher Education by Ann-Louise de Boer,Pieter du Toit,Detken Scheepers,Theo Bothma Pdf

Facilitating of learning in higher education can be transformed through the use of Whole Brain® learning. Whole Brain® Learning in Higher Education argues that facilitating learning in Higher Education should undergo transformation in order to develop the full academic potential of all stakeholders following the principles of action research. Empirical data was collected from participants in a number of projects across diverse disciplines. Participants included students, academic staff, instructional designers, and professionals attending short courses at tertiary level. A number of case studies are discussed as evidence for the value of the proposed model for higher education. This title consists of seven chapters, covering: the theoretical framework, baseline study, professional development, studies in Whole Brain® application, learning material that makes a difference, multidisciplinary collaboration, and the way forward. Defines Whole Brain® learning Explains the rationale behind Whole Brain® learning Demonstrates how the model can be applied in facilitating Whole Brain® learning in order to develop the full academic potential of students

Whole Brain Learning Theory in Education by Joyce Diane Schulz Maed &. Ba,Joyce Diane Schulz Pdf

The purpose of this Master Thesis at Argosy University in December 2010 was to identify dominant learning modalities, as understood by the nine Multiple intelligences of Dr. Howard Gardner (Garner, 1993), the intelligences of right/left-brain dominance processing fields leading to whole brain theory in education. It can be called the Balanced Whole Learner, Whole Mind/Open mind learning methods. The brain dominance seems to be part of the Multiple Intelligence preference fields (Connell, 1996). Fifty secondary students, ten diverse adult learners, two administrators and eight teachers were part of the surveys done through 2009-2010. At the back of the text are diagnostic surveys, a potential interested person can take to determine their dominant learning styles. The questions that were asked was whether or not the adult learner or students were aware of the learning style preferences, and did they want to be aware of them.? The second focus was did their heritage, language, culture, educational level, or gender affect their learning style preferences? The researcher found positive data that supports these issues. The other information supports that brain dominance, MI theories are interwoven within each other as a composite Whole Brain Learning Theory. The text gives resources, findings and recommendations on how it can be implemented in a public school learning environment. The modalities can be integrated into a composite whole, and not separate categories, but an interwoven process to discover a person's brain processing. This is a valuable resources for an administrator, teacher, student, and adults to understand their unique method of processing information called the Whole Brain Learning Theory of education.

Redefining Scientific Thinking for Higher Education by Mari Murtonen,Kieran Balloo Pdf

This book examines the learning and development process of students’ scientific thinking skills. Universities should prepare students to be able to make judgements in their working lives based on scientific evidence. However, an understanding of how these thinking skills can be developed is limited. This book introduces a new broad theory of scientific thinking for higher education; in doing so, redefining higher-order thinking abilities as scientific thinking skills. This includes critical thinking and understanding the basics of science, epistemic maturity, research and evidence-based reasoning skills and contextual understanding. The editors and contributors discuss how this concept can be redefined, as well as the challenges educators and students may face when attempting to teach and learn these skills. This edited collection will be of interest to students and scholars of student scientific skills and higher-order thinking abilities.

The COVID-19 pandemic as well as students' increasing levels of comfort with digital technology has accelerated the digitalization of learning and teaching, even among teachers who are less confident. The editor and contributors ask how successful digital teaching materials can be developed, what are the unique benefits of this type of teaching and how it can be linked with industry and society so as to better aid the development of student learning. The book maintains that the digital educator should be able to orchestrate diversity in the supply of digital teaching materials and project-based learning to meet the needs of students and prepare them for their future careers. Leonid Chechurin is Professor for Industrial Engineering and Management Unit of School of Engineering Science or Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology, FINLAND.

Teaching with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen Pdf

When the first edition of Teaching with the Brain in Mind was published in 1998, it quickly became an ASCD best-seller, and it has gone on to inspire thousands of educators to apply brain research in their classroom teaching. Now, author Eric Jensen is back with a completely revised and updated edition of his classic work, featuring new research and practical strategies to enhance student comprehension and improve student achievement. In easy to understand, engaging language, Jensen provides a basic orientation to the brain and its various systems and explains how they affect learning. After discussing what parents and educators can do to get children's brains in good shape for school, Jensen goes on to explore topics such as motivation, critical thinking skills, optimal educational environments, emotions, and memory. He offers fascinating insights on a number of specific issues, including * How to tap into the brain's natural reward system. * The value of feedback. * The importance of prior knowledge and mental models. * The vital link between movement and cognition. * Why stress impedes learning. * How social interaction affects the brain. * How to boost students' ability to encode, maintain, and retrieve learning. * Ways to connect brain research to curriculum, assessment, and staff development. Jensen's repeated message to educators is simple: You have far more influence on students' brains than you realize . . . and you have an obligation to take advantage of the incredible revelations that science is providing. The revised and updated edition of Teaching with the Brain in Mind helps you do just that.

Mind, Brain, and Education Science: A Comprehensive Guide to the New Brain-Based Teaching by Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa Pdf

Establishing the parameters and goals of the new field of mind, brain, and education science. A groundbreaking work, Mind, Brain, and Education Science explains the new transdisciplinary academic field that has grown out of the intersection of neuroscience, education, and psychology. The trend in “brain-based teaching” has been growing for the past twenty years and has exploded in the past five to become the most authoritative pedagogy for best learning results. Aimed at teachers, teacher trainers and policy makers, and anyone interested in the future of education in America and beyond, Mind, Brain, and Education Science responds to the clamor for help in identifying what information could and should apply in classrooms with confidence, and what information is simply commercial hype. Combining an exhaustive review of the literature, as well as interviews with over twenty thought leaders in the field from six different countries, this book describes the birth and future of this new and groundbreaking discipline. Mind, Brain, and Education Science looks at the foundations, standards, and history of the field, outlining the ways that new information should be judged. Well-established information is elegantly separated from “neuromyths” to help teachers split the wheat from the chaff in classroom planning, instruction and teaching methodology.
