How People Learn The Learning Organ Our Training Must be Based on Research James Zull Apply This Research to Your Training Think of something you teach Check it against these brain-based learning ideas Brains are Designed for Survival Scan the environment Data Information Action Reproduction Survival It feels good It’s the Same for Learning Scan the environment Data Information We only pay attention to what we perceive as useful to us Action Learning must be authentic and realistic Inspire your students! Brain Research Tells us How People Learn All learning is brain-based. There is no other sort of learning! Each brain is unique It’s hard to undo a wrong concept Everyone will learn in their own way Disconnecting neurons is difficult Neurons need to connect to existing neurons Need to build on something known Concrete examples are best (Constructivist theory) Information = Understanding Important Brain Locations Nucleus basali Amygdala Septum Globus pallidus Hypothalamus Nucleus accumbus Chemicals Acetylcholine Dopamine Enkephalins Endorphins Adrenaline Remember these! All learning involves emotions and feelings We are social animals Multiply 67 x47 = 3049 = 3149 The Learning Cycle Sense Sense Integrate Act This Fits Nicely with the Felder Model Sense Integrate Act Preferred Action • physical • reflective Preferred Organisation • inductive / constructivist • never deductive No action = no learning! Sense Preferred Data • observations, facts • ideas, concepts How we gain understanding • sequential • global Preferred Sense • visual • verbal No engagement = no input = no learning! and Fits Nicely with Multiple Intelligences Sense Integrate Visual Verbal Intrapersonal Interpersonal Maths-logic Physical Nature Music Act Preferred Action • physical • reflective No action = no learning! How we gain understanding • sequential • global Preferred Data • observations, facts • ideas, concepts Preferred Sense • visual • verbal No engagement = no input = no learning! and with Kolb’s Learning Circle Model Sense Integrate Act Active testing Abstract hypothesis Concrete experience Reflective observation This Doesn’t Work. Don’t Do It
