ESE 370 Week 1 Discussion 1 Brain-Based
Learning and Literacy NEW
Brain-Based Learning and Literacy [CLOs: 1, 3 &5 ].
1st Post Due by Day 3.
Brain-based teaching and learning is a new
paradigm of pedagogy. It is one of the most
exciting fields in the world of brain research,
based on research from the disciplines of
neuroscience, biology, and psychology. Brain
based learning is an approach that explains how
the brain naturally learns best. Locate an article in
the Ashford online Library that investigates

research in brain development and its relation to
learning and literacy. Provide a summary of the
article and explain how the findings can be
translated into what an educator can do to
enhance learning and literacy.
Do your findings support what you know about
brain functions in the process of learning? Why or
why not? If you need assistance using the library to
find an article, please watch this library tutorial,
Choosing Articles and Revising Results.
Guided Response: Review at least two of your
classmates’ posts and analyze the connections they
made to brain functions in the process of learning.
Do you agree or disagree with their analysis? Why
or why not? Relate their findings to your own.

Our working memory is a significant component to
learning new information. Working memory is
complex as it encompasses many areas of the
brain. It is oftentimes considered a central
executive, a phonological loop, a visiospatial
sketchpad, and an episodic buffer (Willis &
Mitchell, 2014). Discuss the process of working
memory including the areas of the brain

associated with short-term memory and encoding.
Then explain two techniques you can use in your
professional practice that would help improve and
strengthen short-term memory.
In addition to the Willis and Mitchell (2014)
textbook, Chapter 9 of the Wolfe (2010) book may
also be useful. As indicated in the recommended
resources for this week, the Wolfe text is available
from ebrary in the Ashford Library.
Guided Response: Review several of your
classmates’ posts and identify some key point(s)
you agree with. Respond to at least two of your
classmates and provide recommendations to
extend their thinking. Challenge your classmates
by asking a question that may cause them to
reevaluate or rethink their understanding of child
development, brain functions, and the process of
learning.

ESE 370 Week 2 Discussion 2 Gender Differences
in Learning Debate NEW
Gender Differences in Learning Debate [CLOs: 2, 5
& 7]. 1st Post Due by Day 3.
There are known differences in cerebral laterality
between males and females. Although our brains
are unique, some believe it is politically incorrect
to say there are gender differences while others
assert that male and female brains are different.
For some educators and policy makers, it's easy
choice; we should have same-sex schools. For
others, brain-based research raises questions

about instructional design, teacher qualifications,
class size, and instructional strategies. This
discussion has three parts, so be sure to note the
required reflection near the end of the week.
Two of the recommend resources may help you to
contribute to this discussion:
Salomone (2007) and Gurian, Henley, &Trueman
(2001). Both of these resources are available in
ebrary through the Ashford Library.
Initial post: Describe the gender-based differences
in the brain’s executive processes during problem
solving and critical thinking. Then, based on your
debate group assigned below, use the course
materials and at least one other scholarly source
from the Ashford library to justify whether these
differences dictate a need to change our
educational policies and teaching strategies.
Peer responses: Read your peers’ initial posts and
respond substantively to the initial posts of at least
two peers. At least one of your peer responses
must be to a peer assigned to the group opposite
the one to which you were assigned. In your peer
responses, evaluate the quality of their argument.
Did they adequately justify their assigned

positions? What scholarly information can you
offer to support or refute their position? It is
important to demonstrate critical thinking in your
peer responses.
Reflection post: Follow several of the
conversations developing in the discussion. Near
the end of the week, reply to your own initial post
with a reflection on the debate. Where do you
stand now on the issues? Do you agree with the
assertion of the group to which you were assigned?
Did your position change? Describe the process of
reflection you underwent; what research and
which conversations influenced your position?

ESE 370 Week 3 Assignment Emotions are Critical
NEW
Emotions play a large part in the learning process.
Emotions impact how we learn and the
information that we are able to retain. Our brains
are highly sensitive to each of our emotional
states. Educators should be aware of these issues
and how they, as educators, can influence the
emotional states of their students. Write a four
page paper on how emotions are critical to

learning including attention, memory, and
meaning.
Your paper must demonstrate the following
points:
• Identify and discuss the part(s) of the brain
impacted by emotions.
• Evaluate how emotions influence learning,
memory, attention, and meaning.
• Discuss how to build a positive emotional climate
in the classroom.
You must use and cite at least two scholarly
sources in addition to the course text. Your paper
should be a minimum of four pages with proper
formatting according to the 6th edition of the APA
style manual (including Times New Roman, 12
point font, with double line spacing and one inch
margins).
The paper must also demonstrate clear writing
with proper grammar, sentence, structure,

The main types of developmental delays in
children include cognitive, emotional, motor skills,
vision, and speech. Willis and Mitchell (2014)
address sensory contributions to learning and how
important these executive processes such as sight,
touch, taste, smell, acoustics, and emotions are to
learning. An individual can experience cognitive,
emotional, motor skills, vision, and/or speech
delays that affect their learning.

How does understanding sensory contributions to
learning help you to design and deliver instruction
for individuals with developmental delays? Offer
at least one specific example using one of the
developmental delays mentioned (cognitive,
emotional, motor, vision, or speech). Note that
there are several recommended resources that

Gamification of Learning [CLOs 3, 5, 7, & 9]. 1st
Post Due by Day 3.
In Chapter 4 of the textbook, Willis and Mitchell
(2014) discuss the role of video games in learning.
While some folks think that gamification is a
recent trend, we can find examples of “gamified
learning” from the mid-1980s (Knewton, n.d.).
Gamification, as the trend is sometimes called, can
be an effective tool for instructional designers,
teachers, trainers, and facilitators; and it can also

be called a useless distraction, pointsification, or
mandatory fun. This discussion will be a debate
about the merits of gamification in learning.
Debate Grouping (based on the first letter of your
last name): A-L: Argue against the use of
gamification in learning
M-Z: Argue in support gamification in learning
In your initial post, use research about how the
brain learns to justify the appropriateness or
inappropriateness of gaming as a learning tool.
Whichever position you take, be sure to support
your justification with information from the
textbook (Willis & Mitchell, 2014) or other
scholarly sources such as the Bruder (2015)
article listed in the recommended resources
section.
Guided Response: Respond to the initial posts of at
least two of your peers who were assigned the
opposite side of the debate. Draw on brain
research to persuade your peer to see your
assigned perspective.
