Marissa Renee Bamberger – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Belief in psychological misconceptions, especially those regarding brain function and learning (i.e., neuromyths), hinders students' decision-making and learning. This necessitates conceptual change. Using an experimental design, this dissertation examined whether a utility value instructional induction (UVII) facilitated conceptual change.…

Ali, Farhan; Tan, Seng Chee – International Journal of Lifelong Education, 2022
Research in disparate fields of education, psychology and neuroscience suggests that emotions play a central role in learning. We critically examine research at the intersection of emotions, adult learning and neuroscience. First, we review studies in the "IJLE" related to emotions and adult learning. In particular, we focus on the…

Gocen, Ahmet – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
Interpreting findings in neuroscience by field experts and educators regarding educational processes and transferring them to a practical context is gaining importance. From this aspect, neuroleadership studies with the development of social cognitive neuroscience started to serve as a guide for making sense of educational leaders? behaviors at…

Li, Lu; Gow, Andrew Douglas Isherwood; Zhou, Jiaxian – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2020
Humans are inherently emotional creatures due to our social nature, and emotions are able to influence how well we learn and even affect academic outcomes. Emotions are rarely a chief concern in educational settings, and we will discuss the mechanisms underlying how emotions are processed in the brain and how they influence the key aspects of…

Porter, Julie – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The purpose of the quantitative correlational study was to examine how educators utilize instructional strategies that align with how the brain learns in private middle schools for students with diagnosed learning differences (neurodiverse schools) and schools for students without diagnosed learning differences (neurotypical schools). The study…

Conyers, Marcus; Wilson, Donna – Phi Delta Kappan, 2015
The Common Core State Standards emphasize higher-order thinking, problem solving, and the creation, retention, and application of knowledge. Achieving these standards creates greater cognitive demands on students. Recent research suggests that active play and regular exercise have a positive effect on brain regions associated with executive…

Sigler, Tracey Honeycutt; Tyran, Kristi Lewis – Journal of Community Engagement and Higher Education, 2017
Service-learning helps students learn about course concepts through applying them in a setting outside the classroom. The experiences provided by service-learning create conditions that can lead to changes in the learner's brain. In this paper, we provide support for this assertion from research in brain-based learning with suggestions of how to…

Beattie, Ellen N. – COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, 2019
Viewed from the perspective of an action verb, and not just as a position occupied by the elite few, positive leadership drives productivity, employee engagement, and performance. Specifically, the field of positive psychology has gained momentum. Its emphasis on personal well being, and constructs like hope, optimism, and a focus on awareness of…

Meltzoff, Andrew N.; Kuhl, Patricia K. – ZERO TO THREE, 2016
Advances in neuroscience allow researchers to uncover new information about the social brain in infancy and early childhood. In this article we present state-of-the-art findings about brain functioning during the first 3 years of life that underscore how important social interactions are to early learning. We explore learning opportunities that…

Davis, Andrew – Journal of Philosophy of Education, 2013
In this response, I agree with much of what Schrag says about the principled limits of neuroscience to inform educators' decisions about approaches to learning. However, I also raise questions about the extent to which discoveries about "deficits" in brain function could possibly help teachers. I dispute Schrag's view that externalism/internalism…

Rocha Ferreira, Cristina – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2016
GAME results from the exhaustion of doing the same activities, dealing with unmotivated students and not getting the desired results academically. Thus, I initiated a process of research and training in areas such as Positive Psychology, Neurosciences and Neurolinguistic Programming, which allowed to design an Evidence-Based Intervention. Students…

Stormon-Flynn, Mary – Online Submission, 2011
A brain has the capacity to absorb a great deal of information and can make decisions about what role or roles, major or minor, that data will play in its life. While it is most likely true that we learn one new thing every day, our brain, the controller of our thoughts, can decide what number of new things we can learn and remember each day. As I…
