Comments on: Brain based education: Fad or breakthrough–high quality http://edulocation.com/brain-based-education-fad-or-breakthrough-high-quality.education Education Question and Video Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:10:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Parlante4ever http://edulocation.com/brain-based-education-fad-or-breakthrough-high-quality.education/comment-page-1#comment-2914 Parlante4ever Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:17:10 +0000 http://edulocation.com/brain-based-education-fad-or-breakthrough-high-quality.education#comment-2914 I found the video interesting and as a teacher who is using a "whole brain teaching" approach, I totally agree that it is the behavior we have to look at. I have had much better behavior, focused attention and I think the use of as many senses as possible targets all the different learning styles. You might debate whether there is actually more learning taking place, but IMO, you can't learn what you aren't attending to, so it stands to reason that there is.

Perhaps she's attracted to the man she's running with...there are a multitude of reasons why that particular jog coudl've been better. What if she ran with him the next day and he pointed out that she looks fat in her new shorts? Having her weighed herself that very morning she noticed she gained a 2lbs. Now her run seemed tiring and she didn't want to run at all. The reason the woman ran a longer distance and felt less tired is simply because she was distracted during her run (with talking).

Excellent point. Behavioral data is still where educators should focus their research and practice. “In education the behavioral data is enough” (regardless of whether the brain data supports or contradicts it).

It makes perfect sense. I have been trying to figure out what my daughter's learning style is. She has a photographic memory, but memorizing isn't learning in its entirety, though her photographic memory helps. She could count to 20 before she understood what she was doing, because she remembered the number graph, but she didn't understand what to do with those numbers. She uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic processes as tools for learning. Thank you for this explanation. It makes perfect sense.

One activity has people "joined" in an activity. Their fates are tied. The jogging example is concurrent activities, they just happen to be next to each other. I can't believe you would base your argument on this since you are a scientist. The rest of your video, then, is flawed. You are talking about very specific structures and most "brain based education" is about general trends (attention span, memory strategies, music, movement, etc...)
