2. WHAT IS BRAIN-BASED
EDUCATION?
Brain-Based Education is the purposeful
engagement of strategies that apply to how our
brain works in the context of education. This has
hatched a new discipline now entitled some
educational neuroscience, or by others as mind,
brain, and education science (Sousa, 2011).
Brain-based education (aka educational
neuroscience) emphasizes how the brain learns
naturally and is based on what we currently
know about the actual structure and function of
the human brain at varying developmental
stages.

3. HISTORY OF BRAIN-BASED
EDUCATION
Neurological research gained momentum in the
1990s. Up until this point little was known about
neural pathways, and the left and right brain
theory, introduced in the 1960s, was decades
old. From the 1990s up to the present day,
scientists have discovered more about the brain
than in all other centuries combined, according
to the Global Digital Citizen Foundation. In 1994,
Geoffrey Caine and Renate Nummela Caine’s
research concluded that students had increased
retention and understanding of topics when in a
brain-based teaching environment. Since then,
brain-based learning has become a more
common practice in schools

4. The benefits are both clear and significant. Not
only can brain-based learning boost your
student’s academic progress, but it can even
improve classroom behavior and promote a
positive learning environment in school.On the
superficial, grades-based level, using
psychological or scientific theories of learning
can have profound benefits.
Brain-based learning can also affect social-emotional development,
or a student’s ability to understand and regulate their emotions.
Studies have found that brain-based learning strategies can improve
a student’s motivation and attitude. When students develop an
intrinsic love of learning and approach class with the right mindset,
your entire class will be better prepared for a successful school
career.

BENEFITS OF BRAIN-BASED
LEARNING

5. CHALLENGES IN BRAIN-
BASED EDUCATION
In a case study of challenges in brain-based
education, The research has led to the
formulation of some basics to creating brain-
based learning. Brain-based learning has
principles that acknowledge that students have
different and varied memorizing power. While
some students can retain enough information,
others poorly remember what they learned
earlier. Another group of students retains little
information about something, but when they
recall, they remember everything. Emotions also
play a crucial role in the development of
treasured memories and making them stronger.
In fact, some memories become so strong to
point of association with the reflex action.

6. CHALLENGES IN BRAIN-BASED
EDUCATION
In institutions, brain-based learning faces different
challenges. The analysis of the challenges faced in
implementing this learning method can be argued
from the principles that make up it. A large diversity
of techniques, therefore, needs to be used, and this
adds to the time and cost of education. This calls for
a high level of diligence and integrity, which cannot
be guaranteed. What is learned in a curriculum
should be explained and its relevance highlighted.
Brain-based learning provides instant recovery of
memory rather than a set of systems for rote
learning. This variation shows that memorization fails
the transfer information for learning. Educators face
the challenge of not taking into account such
personal world of learner. Provision of choices in the
schools so as to fit an individual's interest of the large
student's population is impractical currently in most
schools.
