Study Notes
Key Principles of Learning
- Learning is an active process that involves personal engagement and participation.
- The more senses involved in learning, the better the learning experience.
- Emotion plays a significant role in increasing retention and learning.
Effective Learning Strategies
- Connecting learning to students' everyday life makes abstract concepts more understandable.
- Good teaching goes beyond recall of information and focuses on developing higher-order thinking skills.
- An integrated teaching approach is more effective than teaching isolated bits of information.
Multiple Intelligences
- There are several types of multiple intelligences, including:
- Verbal-Linguistic
- Logical-Mathematical
- Spatial
- Bodily-Kinesthetic
- Musical
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalistic
Brain-Based Research Findings
- Information remains in working memory for only about 15-20 seconds without rehearsal or constant attention.
- Learning is a process of building neural networks through concrete experience, representational learning, and abstract learning.
- The brain has difficulty comprehending very large numbers without a relatable context.
- The eyes contain nearly 70% of the body's sensory receptors and play a crucial role in visual processing.
Strategies for Effective Learning
- Involving students in real-life or authentic problem-solving activities.
- Using projects to increase meaning and motivation.
- Simulations and role plays as meaning makers.
- Classroom strategies using visual processing, such as:
- Songs, jingles, and raps.
- Mnemonic strategies.
- Writing strategies.
- Active Review.
- Hands-on activities.
Characteristics of an Integrated Approach
- Incorporates successful, research-based, and brain-based instructional strategies.
- Considers multiple intelligences and varied learning styles.
- Includes the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and values.
- Is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary.
